The MK1 Select Closed Face (Nose Protection) Headgear is a classically designed boxing piece constructed of premium cowhide to enhance durability and functionality. A closed face with a bar across the nose allows for a highly protective piece of sparring equipment. It's adjustable from the top, back, and chin strap. It is carefully handcrafted for superior quality. The article is slightly heavier than the open variant, but what you give up in weight and vision, you'll gain in facial protection. The options are purely subjective; there's no better or worse, but it does take some getting used to; the bigger frame means a little less area for movement when on the inside and limited shoulder roll action, though it's not extreme.
*Size down if you're unsure, our recommendation is a tighter fitting headgear. Sizing is relatively standard; if your head size is below 71/4, use size S; if your hat size is above 8, use size XL.
Sizing Examples:
Harrison has a head circumference of 23 3/8 inches and has a 1 3/4 inch gap in the rear for the laces. His perfect fit was a size M.
Groin Guard Sizing Recommendation By Waist In Inches
S - 24-28
M -28-32
L- 32-36
XL - 36-40
XXL - 40-44
*Please note most boxers can fit 2 cups, use your best judgment, if you're on the cusp, go up (if you prefer loose fits) or down (if you prefer a snug fit) based on your liking.*
**Female boxers, we hear you, female cups are in development.
Classic Bag Mitt Sizing Recommendation By Hand Length (Wrist to Middle Finger Tip)
> 7 inches: S
7-8.5 inches: M
>= 8.5 inches: L
*Size up or down depending on your natural thickness of fingers/knuckles, and or your intention to use with or without handwraps.
This is my 5th headgear now and by far my favorite. Previously Title, Venum, RDX and Winning. Better material, better protection, light weight, and I'm not leaving sparring with headaches. Worth every dollar.
