Our verdict

The lowest-cost kick shield in this category, sold singly by RDX's own UK store. It is a curved shield with gel-and-foam padding and nylon handles, though RDX 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. It is listed here as a kick shield for kicking drills in any striking sport.

RDX names the outer "Maya Hide", its own name for the material. That name does not say whether it is genuine or synthetic leather, so it is recorded in RDX's word only. RDX publishes its size chart only as an image and states no weight in text, so neither is recorded. RDX's other claims about the padding are the manufacturer's and were not independently tested.

Best suited to

Clubs, coaches and training partners who want a handled kick shield for kicking drills at the lowest cost in this category. It is sold directly by the maker's UK store.

Consider skipping if

You need to know the shield's size or weight before buying (RDX states neither in text). You want an arm holder with a choice of left- or right-hand fitting.

Pros

  • The lowest-priced kick shield in this category, sold directly by RDX's UK store
  • RDX confirms it is sold as a single shield
  • 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
  • No independent durability or protection evidence found

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, so nothing separates it from the other shields - rated on stated construction, never on an injury-prevention claim.

Comfort (3): nylon strap and handles are confirmed, with no further holder-fit detail.

Durability (3): the outer is RDX's proprietary "Maya Hide", not confirmed as genuine or synthetic leather, with no independent durability evidence.

Value (4): the lowest price in this category for a shield RDX confirms is sold singly, bought from the maker's own UK store.
