Booster and XPRT - affordable kids headgear for beginners
For children who are just starting with boxing or kickboxing Booster and XPRT are the logical choice - competitively priced, with good adjustment options and sufficient protection for beginner sparring. Booster has the Marble line in pink and gold, while XPRT offers the XHG10 and Competitor models in leather with a microfiber lining.
The chin, cheekbones, and ears are fully protected. The hook-and-loop closure is adjustable and easy to put on and take off - even children can operate it independently.

The foam construction provides maximum freedom of movement - you barely feel the protector during sparren. The hook-and-loop closure is quick to put on and take off.
Twins HGL3 - synthetic leather for boxing and kickboxing competitions
Of Twins HGL3 is one of the most recommended headgear options for boxing and kickboxing competitions—made from top-quality synthetic leather with excellent protection for the head, cheekbones, and jaw. Competitively priced for the quality it offers.

Frequently asked questions — Headgear for children
Is headgear mandatory?
That depends on the discipline, age group, organization, and the specific training session or competition. Follow the current rules that apply to your participation.
There is no single general list that remains accurate for all youth and adult competitions. Check not only what you must wear, but also which models, certifications, and colors are allowed.
The XPRT Competitor is headgear for young athletes. Choose the size using the corresponding size chart and check the actual fit; age alone does not determine the size.
Adjust the fastenings properly and check that the headgear does not obstruct vision or breathing. Padding does not make training risk-free and is no substitute for appropriate training methods and contact intensity.
Good headgear adds padding and coverage around areas such as the forehead, cheeks, and ears. The padded layer absorbs contact on the covered areas and helps reduce cuts there. You can adjust your own headgear to fit your head and keep it clean yourself. Choose a style based on the coverage you want, a secure fit, and a clear field of vision. Headgear is an addition to controlled sparren, not a guarantee against concussion.
Why is headgear important for children in martial arts?
A headgear protects the vulnerable skull, ears, cheekbones, and chin of children from punches and kicks. Especially for growing children, the risk of injury is greater — good headgear minimizes this risk and gives parents and trainers the confidence that children can safely sparren and train.
