Headguards are a hugely important piece of boxing equipment. Open-face headgear allows a boxer to have full vision in the ring while still maintaining a layer of protection to make sure that a fighter does not take any unnecessary damage from things like head clashes during training. We have a brilliant range of open-face headgear that ranges from AIBA style to junior open-face headgear.
While headgear is not necessary, it can be a very important piece of boxing equipment that can be brilliant in preventing cuts, bruises or any other unnecessary damage. Wearing headgear is far more necessary when taking part in harder, more competitive sparring. We would always recommend wearing headgear during sparring. Top professional fighters do not always wear headgear, however, if they are not then their sparring partner will. This is to avoid any cuts from clashing heads.
Yes, punches still hurt when wearing headgear. However, headgear is said to take between 40% and 60% of a punch's impact. This means that it will take a good portion of the punch's impact away, but will most likely still hurt from the impact.
High-Quality Open Face Headgear
Open face head guards provide a fighter with the least protection of any of the three main types of headgear. What you lose in protection, you make up for in vision. These head guards are the go-to for a lot of boxers as they not only provide the best vision but are also the lightest and smallest targets of all the head guards.
Both cheek protectors and face bar headgear provide phenomenal protection. The safety components that add the protection can impair the vision of the fighter and could mean that they do not see and react to shots that are coming at them as well as they can with open-face headgear.
The open-faced headgear also gives the fighter a more accurate look and feel as to what it feels like in the ring without headgear.
