I had my nose broken twice boxing and I have had surgery recently to repair it. Both times, I was using open faced headgear. I am try to choose between a 'Mexican Style' and one with 'Cheek Protection'. I like both Rival and Grant, and I'm learnig toward a Mexican Style, but of course never used one. I really want to stay away from the ones with the bar or the sheild. Any opinions here, especially if you have had nose problems? *EDIT: sorry I see a similar thread below
