Construction & Materials
The Head Guard 2.0 uses a dual-technology padding system: Neo Gel provides advanced shock absorption across the crown, while Gel Fusion manages strike energy at the brow, cheek, and temple — the areas most exposed in competition. The inner lining uses a breathable Japanese Amara material that promotes ventilation and comfort during extended rounds. The open-face competition profile keeps weight low and sightlines clear. Lightweight competition-grade foam sits throughout the shell to maintain the close, secure fit required for regulated bouts.
Who Is This For?
The Sting Competition Approved Head Guard 2.0 is designed for amateur boxers preparing for or competing in sanctioned bouts. The updated model is World Boxing approved. Competition use depends on your event and boxing category, so confirm the equipment requirements before buying for a bout. Available in Small through to X Large, it fits a wide range of head sizes across junior and senior weight classes. Coaches looking to equip club fighters with competition-ready headgear will find the 2.0 a reliable, well-specified choice for sparring through to fight night.

What padding does the Sting Competition Head Guard 2.0 use?

What is the difference between the red and blue Sting head guards?

Can I use the Sting Competition Head Guard 2.0 for sparring as well as competition?
Yes. While it is designed to competition specification, the Sting Head Guard 2.0 is well suited to technical sparring sessions where an open-face, lightweight profile is preferred. The Gel Fusion padding provides reliable protection for regular gym use.
