The new top ten helmets are by far the best.

The best headgear is the headgear that you are comfortable in.

In amateurs though, you need a specific kind of headgear, no?

my friend has started his amateur boxing career and his dad was a boxer, he and his dad both told me that top ten were the best

You all wear the same brand, colour style of headgear. That gets given when you arrive at the place. Just different sizes same with gloves. You don't choose.

Gloves yes, headgear no. Not even at the world championships.

why do say they're the best? what do you/your fighters like about them?

They're reasonably well padded for a competition helmet. They're very light. They cover the eyebrows much better than other amateur helmets, without sacirificing your line of sight. They don't move around, or bother your when you're fighting. They're very soft on the inside, again, much more so than any other amateur headgear I've tried. Green Hill were the best competition head gear before, but they're no longer AIBA approved. Thankfully, the New Top Ten helmets are even better.

I'm pretty sure you can still use Green Hill for domestic competition, but internationally you can't.

I wear green hill...altho last night a visiting gym brought there boys down - all wearing top ten.

i noticed the cut of the front pad on the forehead and the shape of it gave alot more visability and periphieal (sp) vision.

Therefore.. i want one and suggest you get one too.

Naah, I don't fight anymore, I train fighters. One of my guys is going to the European Union championships in the middle of June, so we're working hard at the moment.

Here's a clip of me doing some light sparring with one of the kids I train.

He's only 54 kg so I couldn't really hit him that much, so I clown around instead. :)

Awesome man, that's a great accomplishment, even if you're disappointed. How old are you?

Upload away, I'd love to see some more.
