FAQs

Why is this more expensive than other belly pads?

Premium top grain cowhide, 5-layer protection, and Boon's handmade construction quality. This is a long-term investment that outlasts cheaper alternatives by years.

What's the difference between cowhide and buffalo leather?

Cowhide is denser and more durable, resisting tears and maintaining shape better under repeated heavy impacts compared to softer buffalo leather.

How long will this last with commercial gym use?

5-10+ years of professional daily use with proper care. The premium materials and construction justify the investment through exceptional longevity.

Is the 5-layer padding excessive for regular training?

No—it provides optimal protection for trainers holding for power strikers without being unnecessarily bulky. The layers distribute impact effectively across the pad.
