TITLE Muay Thai Pads: Leather - Set of 2

Genuine leather, and the step up you feel by round three. This pair of curved forearm pads holds its shape and grain through years of daily holding in a way synthetic material eventually cannot, and it stands up better to the friction of gloves, wraps and repeated contact over the same number of rounds.

What you get

• Set of two curved leather forearm pads: TITLE's step up from the Powerhide version.
• Genuine leather construction: Holds shape and grain through years of daily holding sessions.
• Riveted stitching at the top of each pad: Heavy-duty construction where the strain concentrates.
• Two Velcro straps per pad: Lock the fit to the forearm through kicks, knees and combinations.
• Contoured striking face: A real target for straight punches, kicks, knees and elbows.

Who it's for

Coaches holding pads daily, and gyms specifying kit that has to last across multiple classes a day. If you are wearing out synthetic pads faster than you would like, this is the reason to move up.

Frequently asked questions

Are leather Thai pads worth the extra cost?

If you hold pads most days, yes. Leather holds its shape and grain far longer under daily contact and resists the friction of gloves and wraps better than synthetic. For occasional use, the Powerhide version is the sensible buy.

What do Thai pads train that a bag does not?

Live combinations against a moving, reacting target. A bag stays where you put it; a pad holder moves, changes angle and calls combinations, which trains distance, timing and reaction on both sides of the drill.

Do they come as a pair?

Yes, sold as a set of two, which is how Thai pads are held and used.

Buy the pair you will still be holding in three years. Leather Thai pads, set of two.

All Heavy Bags & Speciality Bags

• Wipe the shell down with a damp cloth and mild soap after heavy sessions, then let it air dry. Sweat sits on PVC without soaking in, so a wipe does the whole job
• No solvents, no bleach, no alcohol-based cleaners. They strip the finish off a PVC shell and take the printed logo with it
• Keep the bag out of direct sun. UV hardens a PVC shell and splits the seams, and a bag hung outside or in front of a window ages years faster than one indoors
• Check the webbing straps, box stitching and D-rings every few months, and again after anyone heavy has been working the bag. Straps fail before anything else on a hung bag, and they give you warning first
• Do not open or repack the bag. TITLE bags ship filled with textile shred, packed to the stated weight. Textile holds its shape under repeated impact, and nothing inside needs your attention
• Do not leave a bag lying on a concrete floor for months. The filling settles into the shape you leave it in
• Wear wraps and gloves. A bare-knuckle habit marks the shell and shortens its life as much as it shortens yours

Double-End Bags & Speed Bags

• Wipe the shell with a damp cloth after each session
• Air dry away from heat and direct sun
• Leather only: condition every few months so it does not dry out and crack
• Powerhide and synthetic: clean with mild soap and dry in shade. Direct sunlight degrades synthetic material
• Never submerge and never machine wash
• Deflate the bag or drop it to low pressure if it is going away for a season, so the seams are not held under load for months
