This is a great headgear for competition, it’s doesn’t protect much specially not your nose so it forces you to use head movement and keep hands up but it’s a solid headgear, I suggest a size medium if you don’t know what size to get, you can make it tighter or just leave it loose, it’s a good middle point in size.

A little snug. I like to think I have a normal sized head for a 6’2” 235 lbs person, but the laces on the back are almost all the way open on this bad boy for me. I still have enough string to knot it so I don’t mind, but I’d be curious to feel a size larger. But that being said, It’s snug and when tightened it doesn’t move around hardly at all unless I really catch a hook to the face... and even then... can barely feel anything with this baby!

This headgear should be the template upon which all other headgear should be patterned. Leather outer material, cloth inside so that it doesn't slip, buckle chin strap, tie back and top - this headgear is almost perfect. I say "almost " because the only improvement I could possibly suggest is that the cheek pads should extend out a little more to give the user's nose a little more protection.Contender does make a headgear similar to this one that has extended cheek pads, but this one is still better quality.

Doesn't feel overly heavy. Nice and light but enough cushion so that when you get caught with a good punch your glad you have it on. I feel my vision is barely compromised if at all which is important to me. The Extra Large fits perfectly over my head and I have pretty thick dreads. I spar about 3-5 times a week. mostly light but also some heavy from time to time. Been using it for about the last 4 months and it's been great! I ordered a medium one at first but returned it as it was way to small but again, I have dreads so that was pretty much my fault!

I received it a little over a month ago and it's been used twice to break it in for a fight this weekend and it has already torn at the buckle strap.*Update 5/17/17After headgear tore my son still wore it for his match which was 2 days later after my wife stitched it up. My plan was to get a full refund but after wearing it my son said it was more comfortable and adsorbed punches better than the Ringside he normally wears. So my logic is I'd rather have something that performs great for a little while over something that performs ok forever. So instead of refund i got replacement. I sent the gear back, it was delivered on the 13th and i received new one on the 17th! Great service. Upgrade my review from 1 to 3 stars for performance and customer service. Would be 5 if they ever switch to real leather and improve the quality.**Update 6/27/17My son just used this headgear for his match this weekend and I have to say it couldn’t have performed any better. During 3 2-minute rounds he didn’t have to adjust it not once. His opponent however adjusted his 38 times. If this doesn’t qualify as a “perfect fit” nothing does. I’m still torn on the quality and construction of this piece but performance is top notch.
