FAQs
Is this head guard approved for official competitions?
Yes, this model is licensed by the International Boxing Association (IBA) for amateur competition.
How do I determine the correct size?
The head guard features a fully adjustable closure system at the back and chin, allowing one size to fit most adult head shapes securely.
Can I use this for MMA training?
While designed primarily for boxing, the protection level is suitable for striking-based training. Note that it does not offer the same open-face or specialized coverage required for some grappling arts.
How should I clean the interior?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the interior artificial suede. Do not use harsh chemicals, as they may degrade the material.
Does it protect the ears?
Yes, the head guard includes padded ear protection to prevent injury from direct impacts.
Troubleshooting
Head guard shifts during sparring
Ensure the chin strap is tightened sufficiently and verify that the back-of-the-head closures are pulling evenly on both sides.
Restricted peripheral vision
Adjust the angle of the top strap. If the guard sits too low on the forehead, the cheek pieces may obstruct your lateral view.
Head guard feels too loose
Check if the inner suede lining is clean; a buildup of oils or sweat can occasionally cause slipping. Wipe the lining with a clean, dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first loosen all straps. Place the head guard on your head, then tighten the chin strap first to establish the baseline position. Finally, secure the double back-of-the-head closures to lock the guard firmly in place.
Care instructions are straightforward: wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp cloth after each workout to remove sweat and debris. Avoid soaking the guard in water or exposing it to direct heat, as this can dry out the leather. To prevent odors, allow the unit to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
