  • Kickboxing - the FG-2900 offers sufficient protection for sparring
  • Thai boxing - ideal for boxers who also train elbows and knees

The FG-5000 with facebar is especially suitable for beginners and boxers who want extra facial protection during intensive sparring.

Maintenance of your Winning headgear

Winning headgear is made of high-quality synthetic leather and is easy to maintain.

  • After each training session: wipe the headgear with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Let it fully air out before storing it.
  • Never put it in the washing machine - this will damage the material and the padding.
  • Store it in a dry, cool place - not in a closed bag or damp area.
  • Inner lining: the inner lining can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth and a mild cleaner.

With proper care, your Winning headgear will stay in top condition for years.
