Protect Your Head. Preserve Your Game.
A good headguard is essential for sparring and amateur bouts. Here’s how to choose the right one:
1. Type of Headguard
- Open-Face: Offers better visibility — ideal for experienced boxers.
- Cheek Protection: Balances visibility and protection.
- Full-Face: Maximum protection for nose, cheeks, and chin — great for beginners or heavy sparring.
2. Fit & Adjustability
- Should feel snug but not tight.
- Look for adjustable straps or laces for a secure fit.
- Padding should not shift during movement.
3. Material
- Leather: Long-lasting and molds to your head over time.
- Synthetic: Lightweight and easy to maintain.
4. Visibility vs. Protection
- More padding = more protection, but less visibility.
- Choose based on your experience level and sparring intensity.
