FAQs

Why are these lighter than typical kick pads?

Boon engineered the CKPM to reduce trainer fatigue during extended sessions. The 9-layer top-grain cowhide construction provides excellent protection while weighing less than traditional pads, making them ideal for coaches who hold pads all day.

What's the advantage of the curved design?

The ergonomic curve aligns your wrist naturally with your forearm, eliminating the awkward angle that causes wrist strain with flat pads. This design significantly reduces fatigue and allows for more natural movement during pad work.

Can these handle heavy power kicks?

Absolutely. Despite being lighter, the 9 layers of top-grain cowhide provide excellent shock absorption for power kicks and knees. The soft top surface disperses impact effectively while protecting the trainer's arms.

How does cowhide compare to buffalo leather?

Top-grain cowhide is significantly more durable than buffalo leather, maintaining its structure and protective qualities longer through daily high-volume training. It also develops a more refined patina over time.
