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 top segment.

Every headgear is handmade by craftsmen with years of experience, using selected leather of the highest quality. The result is headgear that excels in fit, durability, and protection — approved for use at the highest professional level.

Big names like 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 and expertly made 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 in One-size Black, Red, and Blue. Weight: 620 g. Price: €299.

Both models are made of top-quality leather, handmade in Mexico and equipped with a hook & loop closure (Hook & Loop) for a secure and adjustable fit. The difference lies purely in 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 exact measurements.

As a general guideline:

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

M - the most chosen size, suitable for most adults

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

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

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

The Cheek Protector weighs approximately 522 grams — light enough for extended sparring without fatigue, heavy enough for serious protection of cheekbones and jaw.

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

Both models feature a hook & loop closure at the back for a secure, adjustable fit. The interior is softly lined for comfort during longer training sessions.

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

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

The Cheek Protector provides protection to the cheekbones and jaw — ideal for sparring where direct punches and hooks are the greatest risk factors.

The Round Face-Bar offers additional full nose protection — a popular choice for boxers with a history of a broken nose or for 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 an open-model headgear.

Cleto Reyes headgear is made of top-quality leather and with proper care lasts for many years. A few essential tips:

After each training — let the headgear fully air out. 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 dry — keep the headgear in a dry, ventilated place, not in direct sunlight or in a closed bag.

Check 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.
