FAQs
Is this head guard suitable for official competition?
It is CE approved, but always check with your local boxing commission or event organizer regarding specific requirements for competition headgear.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears to match it against the size chart provided by the manufacturer.
Can I use this for MMA or Muay Thai?
Yes, the coverage provided is beneficial for various striking arts, though you should ensure the guard does not interfere with your specific clinch or grappling maneuvers.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for the surface. Avoid submerging the unit in water.
Will this protect against concussions?
While this guard is designed for shock absorption, no head guard can fully prevent concussions. Always spar with controlled power.
Troubleshooting
Head guard shifts during sparring
Ensure the hook and loop straps are tightened properly; try crossing the back straps if the design allows for more tension.
Head guard feels restrictive
Adjust the top strap to raise the overall position of the guard, which can often improve comfort and range of motion.
Unpleasant odor from lining
Wipe with an antimicrobial spray or a gentle mixture of water and vinegar, then air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, loosen the top and back straps before placing the head guard on your head. Once positioned, tighten the back strap first for a secure base, then adjust the top strap to ensure the guard sits at the correct height relative to your eyes. After each session, wipe the interior moisture-wicking lining with a clean, dry cloth to remove sweat. Because the exterior is made of genuine leather, avoid leaving the guard in damp sports bags or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause the material to dry out or crack. Periodically treat the exterior with a leather conditioner to maintain its integrity.
