How does the head guard help prevent cauliflower ear?
The extended ear coverage is designed to protect the ears from direct impact and pressure, reducing the likelihood of developing cauliflower ear.
What is the benefit of the closed-cell foam?
Closed-cell foam is ultralight and flexible, providing effective cushioning and shock absorption without adding bulk. It also resists water absorption.
How do I adjust the fit of the head guard?

Troubleshooting
Head guard feels too tight
Loosen the stretch lacing system slightly and readjust for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
