Our verdict
A long, curved shield with multiple handles and triple-density foam, sold by Venum's own UK store. It is a high-priced shield for holders who want several grip points. However, Venum publishes no size or weight in text and does not say whether it is sold singly.
Venum describes the Absolute Long with a "curved design" (also "concaved design"), "triple density foam", "multiple handles" and a "Skintex leather" outer. Skintex is Venum's own material name, and Venum does not describe it as genuine or synthetic. Venum says it designed the shield with strikers "from Muay Thai to MMA" in mind, and that it is made in Thailand.
"Long" is Venum's own description, and the dimensions and weight are not stated in text. The store lists a single default option, which suggests but does not confirm that one shield is sold.
Clubs and coaches who want a long, curved shield with several handles for kicking drills, bought directly from Venum's UK store.
Your budget is tight (the RDX T1 costs less). You want an arm holder with a left- or right-hand option. You need to know the size or weight before buying.
Pros
- Multiple handles and a curved design, per Venum
- Triple-density foam, per Venum
- Sold directly by Venum's UK store
Cons
- The highest-priced shield in this category
- No dimensions or weight in text
- Venum does not say whether it is sold singly, or whether Skintex is genuine or synthetic leather
Why we rated it this way
Protection (3, for the holder): Venum states triple-density foam on a long, curved shield but gives no dimensions or thickness, so nothing separates it from the other shields - rated on stated construction, never on an injury-prevention claim.
Comfort (3): multiple handles are confirmed, with no further holder-fit detail.
Durability (3): Venum's "Skintex leather" is not described as genuine or synthetic, with no independent durability evidence.
Value (3): the highest price in this category, for a well-described shield whose size and sold-as details are not confirmed.
