I have 2 youth wrestlers, ages 8 & 10 and this is our go to headgear.The protection is great, my kids are able to get it on and off themselves. They have both used the headgear for 3+ years and it is still in great shape.

We absolutely love this headgear. It’s our 5 year old’s first year wrestling & this has kept him well protected, it’s comfy for him, & it has held up completely. It’s the end of the season & there are no defects. He has worn this in about 20-30 matches, plus practice!

I had the opportunity to beta test the F5 headgear 15 years ago (can't believe it has been that long) as a high school wrestler at a camp at the University of Michigan. I was used to the Cliff Keen classic headgear, padding over steel ear cups. Wearing these was like wrestling in air conditioning, they were extremely comfortable with the added ability of being able to hear your surroundings completely. For youth wrestlers you can not go wrong with these headgear.The biggest challenge with kids and wrestling is that they do not want to wear headgear in practice, it's hot, uncomfortable, and if you aren't used to wearing headgear you will want to take them off once you start to sweat, subjecting kids to cauliflower ear. The tornado headgear will solve that, kids who aren't used to wearing them will be much more comfortable in these than traditional headgear. They are a bit pricier than other headgear, they are 100% worth it though, no sewn parts to fray, comfortable, durable padding, strong velcro straps for easy adjustment, simply the best on the market.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. My son is 8 years old and 67.5 lbs and this headgear fits him perfectly (it is easily adjustable). The plastic over the ears allows for breathability and bc of that my son does not complain when wearing it. He has worn this in at least 25 matches and has yet to adjust it during a match (he wrestles on an 'intermediate' level so lots of head pulling lol). I've seen many many kids lose their headgear in the middle of a match! My son has a minor hearing impairment and thanks to the placement/holes in the headgear he can finally hear his coach during a match. He struggled significantly with his last pair (b/c of the padding on the ears) and he could not hear his coach in the loud gym. To me, this is the best part. Do not be deterred at the plastic design! Not only does it protect great, but it is also very difficult for opponents to grab/pull behind the ears/back of the head. All in all - Pay the couple extra $$ and GET THIS!!

After we lost my 5-year-old son's headgear and needed a quick replacement, I purchased this one. The protection is good because of the plastic sides, but it was difficult to get on and off, make sure that it fit snugly, and make sure it was a comfortable fit. He and I both preferred the softer ear guard with fewer straps.

My son is 10 years old and 67 lbs. Obviously, he would rather not wear headgear. But for what it is it is comfortable and stays in place. No complaints. I will buy this again when he's ready.

I wish I got this for my son last year instead of the only one they had at Sports Authority. This is GREAT--fits perfect, doesn't slip around like the last one he wore (which actually slipped down onto his face in a match!), and it is comfortable so I hear no complaints when he puts it on or has to leave it on. Plus for me, totally easy to wipe down. ACES all around.
