FAQs

How much lighter are these compared to standard kick pads?

The KPLC5 is 100 grams lighter per piece than the Fairtex KPLC2 Standard Kick Pads. That's 200 grams (about 7 oz) total weight reduction for the pair, which significantly reduces arm fatigue during extended training sessions.

Why microfiber instead of leather?

Microfiber is odorless, highly durable, and requires less maintenance than leather while providing excellent striking surface. It stays fresh through intensive training and resists the odor buildup that can affect traditional materials.

Can trainers really punch and hook while holding these?

Yes! The soft padding on the head, straps, and forearms is specifically designed to allow trainers to comfortably jab and hook during interactive pad work, creating more dynamic training sessions.

Do these need a break-in period?

No. The KPLC5 is elastic and flexible even after the first use thanks to the ergonomic curved design. You can start training comfortably right away.
