Mesh headgear - experience w/em?

Speechless · 11-05-2012, 12:34 PM

I'm looking at new headgear, and since i'm dirt poor, i'm looking for the best value for roughly under $80 US.

One of my biggest criteria, is it MUST have ear protection, and i'm not just talking a nice padded donut around the ear, but a bar or "canal" going across it, so I can quit blowing my damn ear drums out. Seriously, fuck, how is it even legal to sell headgear that doesn't protect against blowing out your fucking ear drums... that's like having a cup that protects everything except your BALLS. But that's another story....

One of them on Ringside's website is this one, that has mesh on the outside. Yeah, I know you can't go wrong with leather - so since this one is not leather, I wonder if the mesh is going to A: hold up / durability wise and B: if it affects performance (i.e. visibility, comfort, impact).

Example:

Anyone have any experience?
Or possibly other suggestions?

Keep in mind, I always hear good things about Fairtex, Reyes, Rival etc.. but I'm dirrrt poooor. So yeah, I know you can't put a price tag on safety - but unfortunately, I have my limits.

Thanks

I know. There's a reason why I asked though.
