Below, you’ll find everything about XPRT headgear, the differences between the models, and how to choose the right size.
XPRT headgear. Head protected, focus on training.
A good headgear lets you train without fear of facial injuries. XPRT Fight Gear makes headgear that does exactly that: optimal protection for the chin, ears, and cheekbones, with a fit that stays in place during intense training sessions.
Fight2Win ships the XPRT headgear range directly from its own stock in Waddinxveen—for children and adults alike.
Competitor of XHG10. The two XPRT headgear compared.
XPRT has two headgear models:
Competitor – synthetic leather (PU): Entry-level model, specially designed for the youngest children. Thick padding on the chin and sides, a hook-and-loop closure at the back, plus a cord across the top for an optimal fit. Lightweight, with multiple layers of high-density foam. Available in size XS – ideal for young children starting kickboxing or boxing.
XHG10 – genuine leather: The newest and most advanced model. Soft leather exterior, microfiber lining, and multi-layer foam padding. Improved field of vision thanks to the streamlined design – you can see more while still being well protected. Double horizontal hook-and-loop closure plus classic lace adjustment for a precise fit. Cheekbone protectors for extra facial protection. Available in S, M, L, and XL – for teenagers and adults.
The right headgear size. How to choose correctly.
Headgear should fit snugly—not tightly, but without any looseness. Loose headgear shifts on contact and therefore does not provide optimal protection.
Competitor:
XS - for the very smallest children, children up to approximately 5–7 years old. The hook-and-loop closure and the cord make the fit adjustable.
XHG10:
S - small heads, teenagers, and lightweight adults
M - average adults
L - large adults
XL - larger heads
The XHG10 has a double hook-and-loop closure that allows quick adjustments—ideal if several people use the headgear or if you want to put it on and take it off quickly.
Leather or synthetic. Materials and protection compared.
Competition (synthetic leather / PU): Lightweight and affordable. Multiple layers of high-density foam provide good cushioning. The chin, ears, and cheekbones are well protected. A great choice for children just starting out.
XHG10 (genuine leather): Soft leather exterior—more durable and gentler on the skin than synthetic leather. Microfiber lining for comfort and moisture wicking. Multi-layer foam padding for maximum cushioning. Cheekbone protectors provide extra protection for the vulnerable bones of the face.
The main difference is the field of vision: the XHG10 has a streamlined design that lets you see more while sparren—an important advantage for advanced users.
For kickboxing, boxing, and more. XPRT headgear for every sport.
XPRT headgear is suitable for all stand-up combat sports involving sparring:
Kickboxing - the primary sport; both models are suitable for this
Boxing - the XHG10 is also suitable for boxers who train for competition
Thai boxing / Muay Thai - chin and cheekbone protection is essential during Thai sparring
Krav Maga - the Competitor is popular in children's Krav Maga classes
By target group:
Children (beginners) - Competitor in XS
Teenagers and adults (recreationalists) - XHG10 in S or M
Advanced and competitive athletes - XHG10 for the improved field of vision and leather exterior
Enjoy your headgear for longer. Maintenance and care.
A headgear absorbs a lot of sweat and requires regular maintenance.
After every training session:
Leave the headgear open to dry in a ventilated place
Use a disinfectant spray on the inside to prevent bacterial growth and odors
Never store it in a sports bag while it is still damp
Exterior:
Synthetic leather (Competitor) - wipe with a damp cloth
Genuine leather (XHG10) - wipe with a damp cloth, periodically treat with a leather cleaner
Inner lining (XHG10 - microfiber):
Wipe with a damp cloth; do not immerse
The microfiber inner lining dries quickly and is easy to keep clean
Velcro:
Periodically check the Velcro closure for wear - a securely fastened helmet is essential for safety

The story of XPRT Fight Gear begins in 2005. An enthusiastic martial artist and entrepreneur has been dreaming for years of a shop filled with the finest fighting gear, available and accessible to everyone.
Through personal experience gained from training camps, seminars, competitions, and research, he developed a clear vision of how to offer martial arts, combat sports, and martial arts equipment to a broader audience in the new millennium.
With extensive experience in Thai boxing, boxing, karate, and especially ITF Taekwon-do, Fight2Win takes its first steps toward a complete product range. Initially, this consisted exclusively of ITF Taekwon-do uniforms and safety equipment under the Taekwon-do.nl brand and website.
Then came the slogan: Fight2Win. And ultimately, with the help of fellow martial artists and graphic designers, a logo and name emerged for a groundbreaking and affordable martial arts brand: XPRT Fight Gear!
Depending on the design, headgear provides extra coverage around areas such as the forehead, cheeks and ears. A proper fit and clear visibility are important for training equipment to be practical.
More facial coverage does not mean that all types of head injury are prevented. Headgear does not guarantee protection against concussion and is not a reason to sparren harder or without restraint. Check the intended use and the training or competition rules.
An open chin design leaves more room around the lower part of the face than a closed chin or face-bar design. This can feel more spacious and allow greater freedom of movement.
Your actual field of vision depends on the overall shape, your head size and the fit. An open chin design does not guarantee that you will see every punch coming. Compare the coverage and visibility of the specific model in your own fighting stance.
Why do some headgear pieces have a closed chin guard?
A closed chin design provides more coverage around the lower part of the face than a fully open design. This can make the fit and contact with your face feel different.
On the other hand, extra coverage can affect visibility and freedom of movement. So compare the actual fit and visibility of the model. A closed chin design does not prove a higher overall level of protection and does not guarantee protection against a concussion.
Can I also come by to try on and buy headgear directly from you?
Yes.

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.
