Twins headgear - protection and comfort from Thailand

Twins headgear offer excellent protection during sparring - handmade in Thailand from high-quality synthetic leather with a sturdy foam padding that effectively absorbs impacts.

The HGL3 features an open-face design with wide cheek pads and solid chin protection. The construction protects the most vulnerable parts of the head - cheeks, chin, and back of the head - without limiting visibility. The Velcro closure at the back and the chin strap ensure a secure and stable fit during intense sparring.

The antibacterial inner surface neutralizes odors and is easy to clean. The synthetic exterior is durable and resistant to intensive use.

Twins headgear is used by athletes at all levels - from beginners sparring for the first time to advanced kickboxers and Muay Thai fighters. The combination of good protection, comfortable fit, and durable construction makes the HGL3 a reliable choice for the gym.

Twins headgear - the HGL3 model

Fight2Win has the Twins HGL3 model in the range - the most popular headgear from Twins Special.

Twins HGL3 - an open-face headgear with wide cheek pads, sturdy chin protection, and a protected back. The open-face design provides clear vision and is the standard choice for sparring in kickboxing and Muay Thai. The HGL3 has a velcro closure at the back and an adjustable chin strap for a stable fit.

The foam padding is firm enough to effectively absorb blows but light enough not to burden the head unnecessarily. The synthetic leather on the outside is durable and resistant to intensive use.

The HGL3 is available in sizes S, M, and L and in 3 colors: black, red, and blue.

Note: Fight2Win only carries the HGL3 in the range. Other Twins headgear models (such as the HGL4 with nose guard or the HGL8 full-face) are not available in Europe through the distributor.

Twins headgear - choose the right size

The Twins HGL3 headgear is available in 3 sizes: S, M, and L. Choose based on your head circumference:

S - head circumference approx. 53-55 cm. Suitable for smaller heads, women, and younger athletes.

M - head circumference approx. 56-58 cm. The most popular size, suitable for most adult women.

L - head circumference approx. 59-61 cm. The most popular men's size, suitable for most adult men.

How to measure: measure the circumference of your head at the widest point - about 2 cm above the eyebrows and over the back of the head. Use a measuring tape or a piece of string that you then measure.

Tip: unsure between S and M? Choose M. The Velcro closure at the back allows some adjustment, but a size that is too small is uncomfortable and can limit vision. A slightly larger size is always better than one that is too small.

Twins headgear - colors and availability

The Twins HGL3 headgear is available in 3 classic colors:

Black - the most popular color. Available in S, M, and L.

White - a classic boxing color. Available in M and L.

Army green- sleek and distinctive. Available in M and L.

All three colors are available in all sizes. The colors are solid and timeless - matching almost any boxing glove or kickboxing shorts.

Tip: do you want a matching set? Combine the HGL3 in the same color with the Twins BGVL3 or BGN boxing gloves and the Twins SGL7 shin guards. Fight2Win has all three in black, white, and army green in stock.

Twins headgear - suitable for kickboxing, Muay Thai, and sparring

The Twins HGL3 is designed for sparring - controlled practice of techniques with a partner. The headgear is suitable for all martial arts where head protection is required or recommended:

Kickboxing - the HGL3 is the most used headgear in Dutch and Belgian kickboxing gyms. The open-face design provides clear vision and does not restrict movement.

Muay Thai and thai boxing - the home base of Twins. The HGL3 offers the protection needed for sparring with full techniques including knees and elbows.

MMA - the HGL3 is also used in MMA training for stand-up sparring.

Beginners - headgear is essential for anyone sparring for the first time. The HGL3 is a reliable and affordable choice for beginners who want to train seriously.

Advanced - experienced athletes also use the HGL3 daily in the gym. The combination of good protection and lightweight construction makes it suitable for intensive sparring sessions.

Twins headgear - maintenance and cleaning

The Twins HGL3 is made of synthetic leather and is easy to maintain. With proper care, the headgear remains hygienic and in good condition.

After each training session: Wipe the inside with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Then leave the headgear open and in a ventilated place to dry - never put it directly in a sports bag. Use a disinfectant spray to neutralize odors.

Regular maintenance: Wipe the outside with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. The antibacterial inner surface can withstand regular cleaning with a damp cloth.

Velcro and chin strap: Regularly check if the Velcro fastener at the back still adheres well. Remove lint and dust from the Velcro to maintain grip.

What to avoid: Never machine wash. Do not dry in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents on the synthetic leather.

Frequently Asked Questions — Twins headgear

Where is Twins Special made?

All products from Twins Special are handmade inThailand.

Collections

How does the Twins HGL3 headgear fasten?

The HGL3 features a two-part closure system: a classic lace-up closure at the top for precise fit adjustment, and an easy Velcro closure at the back for quick on and off. The combination ensures a stable, anatomical fit during sparren.

Collections

Are headgear for boxing and kickboxing the same?

Yes. 

You can use the same headgear for boxing, kickboxing, thai boxing, and even MMA.

Both come with open chin, closed chin, cheekbone protectors, and face-bar protection. That choice is personal.

Collections

What size Twins headgear do I need?

Headgear usually comes in "normal" sizes, from XS to XL. This is usually related to your head circumference.

For every brand and model of headgear, there is a unique size chart (at the size selection and at the bottom in the content). Here we provide the best possible guideline for what we think is the best choice for you for that specific model.

In borderline cases or if in doubt, we recommend choosing a larger size headgear, as a too small headgear will be very uncomfortable. However, do not take the protector too loose, because you don’t want it to shift.

Collections

What is the purpose of good headgear?

Martial arts such as karate, taekwondo, boxing, kickboxing, and MMA all involve some degree of contact to the head of the practitioners. Wearing a good headgear in these martial arts is essential for the safety of the practitioner.

We especially want to emphasize that good headgear not only provides good protection but also stays securely in place and is not a hindrance!

Functions of headgear:

  • Protection against head injuries
  • Protection of the eyes
  • Increased confidence
  • Training without hesitation
  • Contributes to a safety culture (awareness of important protection)

Collections

Is headgear mandatory?

This depends on the rules of your gym, sport, or competition/tournament you are participating in.

In many training environments (such as a gym or club) the use is optional. However, it has become increasingly mandatory in recent years due to safety and insurance company requirements.

Competitions and martial arts where headgear is mandatory:

  • WT Taekwondo (youth and adults)
  • ITF Taekwon-do (youth and adults)
  • Amateur boxing (youth and adults)
  • Kickboxing (youth up to 17 years)
  • Karate (youth up to 13 years)
  • Amateur Sanda/Sanshou (youth and adults)
