Doesn't slip around on my head at all, not gonna protect you from concussions, but very good peripheral vision and check protection. Very happy at the price point.

Great headgear. Not sure how it stacks up to the others, as it is my first purchase, but I can't see how any one of these things could be much better than this one. I've read reviews about offerings from "Winning", "Title", "Cleto Reyes", and more, but this set up seems as good as any; and for half the price! Rival makes good quality products too, and I trust the brand. This bad boy is cowhide leather, and has a buckle chin strap. Some prefer the hook and loop chinstrap so they can adjust with their gloves on. That's the one downside of this set (if you call that a downside). I don't mind it really. The buckle strap feels very secure and is comfortable. The inner lining is what I like most. They call it swede, but I don't know if it's that, or some microfiber like material. Whatever it is, it's awesome! It keeps the headgear on snug without moving around. Nice touch! I'd recommend this training headgear for both beginner, novice, and pro. I'm no pro, but hey, I really like the headgear! :)

I've been boxing for a little over a year now. I recently wrote a review of another head gear that I purchased. That review was for the Title full coverage headgear and my review wasn't favorable. The fit was awkward. I've also used several other headgears for sparring in my boxing classes so I had an idea of how it should fit. I returned the title one and purchased this instead based on positive reviews and feedback at class.This gear DID NOT disappont by any stretch! The fit is great. The level of protection is awesome too. I've tried other headgears that seemed to soft and pillowy, and one gear that was so stiff that each shot I took felt harder. But this gear is perfect. It has cheek guards too which was a concern because I didn't want to be too exposed (as I do this for fun). The interior lining is really soft and adds to the comfort level. If I had any complaints it would be that the ear socket seems a little shallow so I really felt a good shot to the side of my head.Overall though, I love this piece of equipment.

I have a big head and got the biggest size and it's still seems to be a little tight, but saves me from a lot of punches so I can't complain. Good gear.

comfy and absorbs energy VERY well. i did a LOT of research before buying this, and shy of spending over $200 on head gear, this is about as good as it gets. the suede liner feels great, but stays put. plenty of adjustment for different size and shaped heads.

I really love this headgear. The ones at my gym normally move around when I'm sparring but these didn't budge one inch. I really like the feel of the suede on the inside too. Nothing like getting hit in style and comfort!!!

This is a good, basic headgear. I have kind of a large head, so it gives me a headache when I wear it for too long. However, I've been using it for about a year now and it's holding up pretty well for sparring purposes. It doesn't cut down on vision. It is by no means attractive, but I guess that doesn't really matter.

I was very pleased with this product.I have used headgear plenty of times (this is the 3rd I've owned, but have used a number of others at different gyms), but for me, the biggest issue has always been the balance between padding/visibility/and how well it will actually absorb damage.Typically, the headgear I have used has either been too big/obstructive or the headgear was too cheap/thin and didn't serve it's purpose well enough. I've seen other strong reviews for the Rival Headgear, so I gave it a try and found it to be the perfect balance (for me, at least). The headgear is light and fairly thin, but does a great job with absorbing damage and is barely visible in my peripheral vision.I would (and have) recommend this item to a friend.
