Our verdict
A curved kick shield with gel and foam padding and nylon handles, for a coach or partner to hold in kicking drills. RDX sells it singly from its own UK store but publishes no dimensions or weight in text.
RDX describes the T1 as a kick shield with "a unique curvature", gel and foam padding ("Shell Shock GEL" and "Supremo-Shock Foam") and nylon strap and handles. It says the shield is "Sold as a single kick shield". RDX markets the T1 as an MMA kicking pad, and we list it as a kick shield for kicking drills in any striking sport.
RDX calls the outer "Maya Hide", its own name for the material, and does not say whether it is genuine or synthetic leather. Its size chart is an image only, and it states no weight in text. The padding claims are RDX's own: our research found no independent test of them.
Clubs, coaches and training partners who want a handled kick shield for kicking drills, sold directly by the maker's UK store.
You need to know the shield's size or weight before buying (RDX states neither in text). You want a left- or right-hand arm holder, which RDX does not describe.
Pros
- Sold directly by RDX's UK store
- Sold as a single shield, per RDX
- Gel and foam padding and nylon strap and handles, per RDX
Cons
- No dimensions or weight in text - RDX's size chart is an image only
- "Maya Hide" is a proprietary name, not confirmed as genuine or synthetic leather
Why we rated it this way
Protection (3, for the holder): RDX states gel and foam padding but publishes no thickness or size in text.
Comfort (3): RDX lists a nylon strap and handles, with no further detail on how the shield is held.
Materials & Construction (3): RDX lists a "Maya Hide" outer, its own material name, with a nylon strap and handles: the normal build for a kick shield. It doesn't say whether Maya Hide is genuine or synthetic leather.
Value (3): A mid-range price for a single curved shield with a Maya Hide outer, gel and foam padding and nylon handles, per RDX. Kick shields at this price normally offer the same.
