Headgear Hayabusa T3 Boxing Black

Vylar-2 synthetic leather is scientifically proven to be up to nearly30% stronger than regular leather. These Hayabusa boxing gloves will therefore certainly not fall short of genuine leather boxing gloves. In addition, Vylar-2 synthetic leather retains its color better and does not develop cracks. 

Hayabusa (pronounced Ha-Ja-Boe-Sa) is the Japanese word for peregrine falcon, the fastest animal on Earth (a bird of prey clocked at over 500 km/h during a dive). The company was founded in 2006 by Ken & Craig Clement, David Zikakis and Luke Harris and has literally taken off ever since.

Hayabusa is headquartered in Ontario (Canada) and has its global distribution center in the heart of Las Vegas (United States). Not entirely coincidentally, this is also where the biggest boxing matches and UFC events take place. Hayabusa also has two exclusive contracts with independent sports centers in Canada, where all Hayabusa products are extensively tested.

Hayabusa aims to offer the best materials in terms of comfort, fit, anatomy and, more importantly, performance and safety! A martial artist is constantly improving and developing themselves. This is a Japanese philosophy that is also applied in business and at Hayabusa: Kaizen. This is the concept of “continuous improvement.

Maximum visibility, minimal obstruction.

Headgear in combat sports such as boxing often has an open chin to improve the fighter's comfort and mobility.

This design allows fighters to see all incoming punches, especially hooks and uppercuts, without being hindered by thick padding.

The open design also allows for better head movement and countering opportunities during sparring sessions and training.

Some key benefits of open-chin headgear:

• Improved visibility: an open face contributes to a wider and clearer field of vision, which is crucial for anticipating punches and reacting quickly, especially during training or sparren.
• Improved mobility: the smaller amount of padding around the chin and cheeks allows for smoother head movement, enabling fighters to evade punches more effectively.
• Focus on countering: by maintaining a clear view of their opponent, fighters can better anticipate and counter their attacks.
• Fewer restrictions: open headgear is generally preferred for its greater comfort and breathability during intense training sessions.

Please note:

While open headgear prioritizes visibility and agility, it naturally provides less protection for the face, particularly the chin and nose, compared with headgear featuring a face bar or cheek protection.

However, the open design is often preferred because it allows fighters to sparren and train without feeling overly restricted in their freedom of movement. Many fighters are not fans of overly "bulky" protective gear anyway.

The Hayabusa T-Cross system is a ingenious two-hook-and-loop fastening system used in Hayabusa T3 headgear. It is designed to provide an easy, secure, and adjustable fit, so the headgear does not shift during training.

The T-Cross system uses two perpendicular belts that can be adjusted very easily, similar to the brilliant dual-X closure of Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves. 

Key features of the Hayabusa T-Cross system:

• Secure fit: The T-Cross closure ensures that the headgear stays securely in place and does not shift, even during intensive training.
• Adjustability: The system provides a precise and easily adjustable fit, ensuring that the headgear is comfortable and secure for different head sizes and shapes.
• Ease of use: The two belts are easy to adjust (yourself), allowing the headgear to be put on and taken off quickly and easily without assistance.
• Comparable to T3 boxing gloves: The closure works in a similar way to the dual-X closure of Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves.

The antimicrobial lining of the Hayabusa T3 actively inhibits bacterial growth and reduces unpleasant odors. Wipe the headgear with a damp cloth after use and let it dry completely before storage. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated place to keep the VYLAR®-2 material in optimal condition.
