Competition-Focused Design & Protection
The open-face competition profile is anatomically shaped to provide protection across key impact zones, including the brow, cheek, and temple areas, while maintaining clear sightlines and natural head movement.
The cut-away design supports defensive awareness in the ring, allowing fighters to see punches clearly and react effectively during bouts. Padding is positioned to offer essential competition-level protection without unnecessary bulk.
Padding, Comfort & Performance
- Lightweight competition foam padding designed to assist with impact energy dispersion during regulated competition contact
- Inner lining supports comfort and breathability throughout bouts and controlled sparring
- Low-profile construction helps reduce fatigue and distraction during competition rounds
Fit & Adjustment
- Fast-fit hook-and-loop rear fastening allows secure and consistent adjustment
- Designed to minimise movement once fitted correctly, helping protective zones remain properly positioned throughout competition
- A snug, secure fit is essential for both safety and performance
Training and Competition Use
This head guard is designed for amateur boxing contests and competition-style sparring, where head protection is required without restricting vision or movement. The open-face design allows clear sightlines and natural head movement, which is essential for defensive awareness in the ring.
It is not intended for heavy sparring or high-impact gym sessions, where full-coverage head guards provide greater protection. Fighters involved in regular hard sparring should use equipment designed specifically for extended training rounds.
After use, wipe down the exterior and allow the head guard to fully air dry before storage.
