Which model suits your sport and level? Below you will find our comprehensive information guide — from materials and types to brands and competition rules.
Headgear for boxing & kickboxing — which model suits me?
For boxing and kickboxing we recommend the Rival headgear or Twins headgear. These are made of top-quality leather or synthetic leather and provide perfect protection for the head, cheekbones, and jaws — all at a reasonable price.
For ultimate ease of use and fit is the Rival HG30 unsurpassed. An ideal all-rounder for training and sparring.

Taekwondo headgear — what are the differences compared to boxing?
Taekwondo headgear is specifically designed for semi-contact and ITF Taekwon-do and differs in shape and protection from boxing headgear. They offer more protection to the sides and top of the head, where kicks in taekwondo often land.
In our taekwondo headgear collection you will find models from Adidas, Bytomic, and other specialized brands — suitable for training and competitions. In youth and junior competitions, an approved headgear is always mandatory.

Headgear for children — what should I pay attention to?
A good headgear for children is lightweight, easily adjustable, and provides sufficient protection without obstructing vision. Fit is the most important factor — a headgear that is too large offers inadequate protection during impact.
In our headgear for children you will find Booster models in various sizes and colors, specially designed for younger athletes. In youth and junior boxing matches, wearing headgear is always mandatory.

What types of headgear are there?
There are different types of headgear, each with a different level of protection:
Open face — maximum visibility, popular for sparring and training
With cheekbone protectors — extra protection for cheekbones and jaws
With facebar — full protection of the face and nose bridge, check out our headgear with facebar
With or without chin protector — extra protection under the chin
Headgear cushions the impact of blows and distributes the force over a larger area, significantly reducing the risk of injury.

Headgear with facebar — when do you need it?
A headgear with a facebar offers full protection of the face, including the nose and nasal bridge. This type is ideal for intensive sparring, beginners who are still learning the technique, or athletes who have previously had a broken nose.
In our headgear with facebar you will find models from Rival (RHGFS3), Cleto Reyes, and other top brands — for both boxing and kickboxing.

Is headgear mandatory in competitions?
In amateur boxing and kickboxing matches, headgear has long been mandatory. In youth and junior boxing matches, headgear is always mandatory.
