Headgear, full-face/open/classic ?

Hello people !

Which headgear do you prefer?
Is it any disadvantages/benefits of using full-face/open/classic/and so on ?
I mean a full-face protects the most but it's not what you are using in the ring/match, maybe better to get used to a open then, or ?

Mexican style with the cheekbone protection. Has a good balance between visibility and protection for your eyes and nose.

Full face ones you can't see as well, and the open ones leave you open to unnecessary damage.

 

What's the different between a mexican and a traditional headgear ?
I can see that booth of this headgears got the cheekbone protection ?

 

Mexican usually has more cheek padding.

 

Okey, thanks!
I have been looking for some alternatives but have a hard time to decide, so if you got anything to say/recomend about this headgear you are free to speak
TITLE Platinum Training Headgear (Looks like the sight is limited ?)
TITLE Boxing Traditional Training Headgear (Looks like the one above but with a better sight ?)
Rival Mexican Style Pro Training Headgear (Looks well padded but what about the sight ?)
Rival High Performance Training Headgear (Looks like it got a good sight, but quite small check protector ?)

 

i think the mexican style is your best bet. i have it and the vision seems fine to me. cant compare it to anything else since its my first headgear tho

 

Can you post a picture when it's on your head ?

 

i like the normal open amateur ones, you can see better.

 

Has anyone tried the Rival d3o Intelli-shock headgear ?
I am looking to buy either this or the High Performance Headgear...

 

Yeah I like them too. I use the Olympic top ten ones.

 

I use a full face because I can't see for **** with any others, but the smartest way to go is get a bar.

 

if you go with the full face than their are some things you should be aware of. the full face is safer and alot of the pros go with these. you can pound away with the pros without having to worry about going to work the next day with a broken nose. ad******g to the full headgear is difficult. as people mentioned on this website it impacts your vision. getting use to the change will take some time. however, i'm glad i decided to continue using the full heargear.

 

I was going to start my own thread but thought this one would suffice.

I am going to get a head guard and I want one with a bar because ideally I dont want a broke nose for work lol I have seen this one which looks decent and is reasonably priced - what do you guys think??

I think thats the same one someone in my club used to have. Looks pretty much the same anyway, He has a cleto reyes ones now but I think he liked that one. He had it for the same reason as you as well.

 

OK cool, will buy one I think - it comes in small / medium and large?! how do I know which to go for? The one issue with online shopping...Any advice? lol
