Boxing headguards

Compare headguard shape as well as size

Headguards can cover different areas of the face and head. Read the model’s intended use and compare its openings, fastening and size guidance. A headguard shown on one athlete does not establish how the same size will sit on you.

Try the adjustment while maintaining a clear view for the exercises you perform. The guard should stay in its intended position during controlled movement. Ask your coach which type is permitted for your sessions or event; training and competition rules may differ.

Head protection is one component of a broader equipment list. Check which mouthguard, gloves and other protection your club requires, and continue to follow its training instructions rather than treating equipment as permission for harder contact.
