Headgear Rival RHG100 Professional Blue-Silver

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)

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.

No.

The brands that use this type of classic closures know:

• firstly, that this is the strongest way to secure a protector
• secondly, they properly cover the buckle so that it cannot cause any harm to the fighter in any way

Rival Boxing Gear was founded in Canada in the early 2000s and has since experienced steady growth in the world of martial arts, with a focus on classic boxing. The company was founded by Russ Anber, a prominent name in the boxing world.

Anber, a respected boxing trainer and coach, had deep knowledge of what fighters needed to improve their skills and excel in the ring. With this background and expertise, he aimed to produce high-quality gear that would meet the needs of fighters.

Feather-Lite simply involves two principles:

1. Maximum performance and protection
2. The lightest possible materials

Rival Boxing Gear strives to use the principles of Feather Lite in as many products as possible: providing our customers with maximum performance and protection combined with the lightest possible materials.

Rival aims to reduce the size and weight of materials while maintaining the same performance. This is to ensure efficiency. If we can find a lighter, thinner material that offers the same performance and durability as something heavier or more traditional like leather, we do it. Innovation and attention to detail are the Rival way!

A headgear must fit well, be somewhat comfortable, and allow full visibility without slipping.

The protection should fit firmly on the forehead, just above the eyebrows, and not obstruct vision or breathing.

The headgear is preferably adjustable to ensure a good fit and prevent it from shifting during training or competition.
