You need sumthing that u feel comfortable in an thats in ur price range i suppose !! Shawn 05-10-2008, 12:08 AM The best headgear is the headgear that you are comfortable in. .......... 05-10-2008, 12:37 AM In amateurs though, you need a specific kind of headgear, no? Luke.l.08 05-18-2008, 09:46 AM 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 P4PKING_2008 05-18-2008, 09:56 AM 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. PunchDrunk 05-18-2008, 10:08 AM 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. rj_ct 05-18-2008, 11:56 AM The new top ten helmets are by far the best. why do say they're the best? what do you/your fighters like about them? PunchDrunk 05-18-2008, 12:35 PM 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. ricky_feroz 05-19-2008, 11:34 PM ah crap PunchDrunk so Green Hill aint approved anymore that sucks i bought both red and blue headgears... PunchDrunk 05-20-2008, 04:41 AM ah crap PunchDrunk so Green Hill aint approved anymore that sucks i bought both red and blue headgears... I'm pretty sure you can still use Green Hill for domestic competition, but internationally you can't. mgkirkpatrick 05-20-2008, 09:06 AM punchdrunk which country are you from? PunchDrunk 05-20-2008, 11:09 AM I'm from Denmark. mickeyb 05-20-2008, 11:15 AM 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. ricky_feroz 05-20-2008, 02:21 PM I'm pretty sure you can still use Green Hill for domestic competition, but internationally you can't. oh alright great.... how u been any fights lately PunchDrunk 05-20-2008, 02:47 PM oh alright great.... how u been any fights lately Naah, I don't fight anymore, I train fighters.
