The cheek protection headguard adds padded cheek panels to the standard open face design, giving extra coverage across the cheekbones and jaw area without adding a nose bar or face cage. You retain the wide-angle vision of the open face guard whilst getting significantly more facial protection. It sits between a basic open face guard and a full closed face headguard in terms of coverage.

Product details
A closer look
The Cleto Reyes Headguard with Cheek Protectors is one of the most recognisable pieces of boxing headgear in professional gyms worldwide. Built from premium cowhide leather with latex foam padding throughout, it delivers the kind of durable, reliable head protection that serious sparring demands. The three-point anatomical design sets this guard apart — it sits flush against the head rather than shifting under pressure, giving you a secure fit from the first round to the last.
Construction & Materials
The shell is premium cowhide leather, the same material Cleto Reyes uses across their competition glove range — resistant to cracking, scuffing, and the wear that comes with heavy gym use. Inside, latex foam padding absorbs and disperses impact whilst keeping the overall weight low enough that head movement isn't compromised. The cheek protectors extend the coverage zone without reducing the wide-angle vision the three-point anatomical frame is designed to maintain. Closure is handled by a rear hook-and-loop fastening, a chin strap, and an adjustable lace tie at the top for a fully customisable fit.
Who Is This For?
This headguard suits intermediate to advanced boxers who spar regularly and want cheek coverage without wearing a full cage or nose bar setup. It works well for technical sparring — the wide-angle vision supports defensive head movement and accurate counter-punching. Fighters who have looked into Cleto Reyes cheek protection headgear specifically are usually coming from open-face guards and want the added facial coverage without moving to a closed-face design. It suits all weight classes and is a common choice for amateur competitors training between bouts.
Product questions
What is the difference between the Cleto Reyes cheek protection headgear and the open face version?
Does the Cleto Reyes headguard with cheek protectors have a nose bar?
No. This model does not include a nose bar. It features extended cheek protectors that cover the sides of the face, but the front remains open. If you require nose bar protection, Cleto Reyes produce separate headguard variants that include that feature.
How does the Cleto Reyes headguard fit?
The headguard uses a three-point anatomical fit system combined with a rear hook-and-loop closure, a chin strap, and an adjustable lace tie on top. This combination allows a precise, stable fit across different head shapes and sizes. Cleto Reyes recommend consulting their size chart, as sizing can vary between head circumference measurements.
Is the Cleto Reyes cheek protection headgear suitable for amateur competition?
This headguard is designed primarily for sparring and gym training rather than sanctioned amateur competition, where specific equipment approval requirements apply. It is widely used by amateur boxers during training camps. Always check with your governing body regarding approved headguard specifications before competing.
