Cleto Reyes headgear

Cleto Reyes headgear is the gold standard in the professional boxing world. The Mexican brand has a legendary status — especially when it comes to traditional boxing gear in the premium segment.

Each headgear is handcrafted by artisans with years of experience, from selected leather of the very best quality. The result is headgear that excels in fit, durability, and protection — approved for use at the highest professional level.

Big names such as Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Manny Pacquiao and Anthony Joshua swear by this brand. Contemporary top fighters such as Mohammed Jaraya, Francis N'Gannou and Badr Hari also train with Cleto Reyes headgear.

"I don't fight if it's not with Cleto Reyes gloves." — Muhammad Ali

All Cleto Reyes products are carefully made with the utmost craftsmanship in Mexico City — as has been the case since 1945.

Fight2Win carries both main models of Cleto Reyes headgear.

Cheek Protector — the classic Mexican model with protection for the cheekbones, jaw, and head. The most popular choice for sparring and daily training. Available in sizes S, M and L and multiple colors. Weight: 522 g. Price range: €249–€269.

Round Face-Bar — the model with a large protective bar for the entire face, including the nose. Ideal for boxers who want maximum facial protection during intense sparring. Available One-size in Black, Red, and Blue. Weight: 620 g. Price: €299.

Both models are made of top-quality leather, handmade in Mexico, and feature a hook-and-loop closure (Hook & Loop) for a secure and adjustable fit. The only difference is the level of facial protection.

The Cleto Reyes Cheek Protector is available in S, M and L. The right size depends on your head circumference. Always consult the SIZE CHART for the exact measurements.

As a general guideline:

S - smaller head circumference, suitable for many women and lighter boxers

M - the most popular size, suitable for most adults

L - for a larger head circumference or boxers who prefer a roomier fit

The Round Face-Bar is available in One-size fits most head sizes thanks to its adjustable hook-and-loop closure .

Cleto Reyes headgear is made from selected top-quality leather — the same material the brand uses for its world-famous boxing gloves. The leather is durable, supple, and abrasion-resistant, and is hand-cut and sewn by experienced artisans in Mexico City.

The Cheek Protector weighs approximately 522 grams - light enough for extended sparring without fatigue, yet heavy enough to provide serious protection for the cheekbones and jaw.

The Round Face-Bar weighs approximately 620 grams thanks to the extra protective bar covering the entire face, including the nose.

Both models feature a hook-and-loop closure (Hook & Loop) at the back for a secure, adjustable fit. The inside is softly padded for comfort during longer training sessions.

The result is headgear that lasts a long time—provided it is properly maintained.

Cleto Reyes headgear is primarily designed for boxing and used at the highest professional level. Thanks to their robust construction and excellent fit, they are also very popular among kickboxing and thai boxing.

The Cheek Protector protects the cheekbones and jaw — ideal for sparring where direct punches and hooks are the greatest risk factor.

The Round Face-Bar offers additional full nose protection — a popular choice among boxers with a history of a broken nose or during intensive sparring with heavy partners.

Both models are approved for use at the professional level and suitable for women and men. They are not suitable for MMA or grappling — for that, you need open-style headgear.

Cleto Reyes headgear is made of top-quality leather and will last for many yearswith proper care. A few essential tips:

After every training session — let the headgear air out completely. Never put it directly in your sports bag. Use a disinfectant spray to combat odors and bacteria.

Leather care — regularly treat the leather with a good leather cream or leather grease to prevent drying, discoloration, and cracking. Especially with intensive use.

Do not wash — never put the headgear in the washing machine. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth and let it dry completely in the air.

Store in a dry place — store the headgear in a dry, ventilated place, not in direct sunlight or in a closed bag.

Check the Velcro — regularly check the Hook & Loop closure for wear. Keep the Velcro free of hair and dust for optimal grip.

With proper care, a Cleto Reyes headgear is a long-term investment.
