For the past few years, i been sparring with my Everlast No cheek competition headgear.i used it for all my sparring and for my fights. its pretty beat up.about 2 months ago i was sparring and got a concussion.i think it might be because my headgear is beatdown..

so now im gonna start sparring again and im lookin for a face protector one. one with a bar in the middle.anyone tried any good ones?i know winning is probably the best..but i wish i had 300 to spare haha. im lookin at fighting headgear and the "Title Boxing Face Protector"..that looks pretty solid..anyone got suggestions?

The best facebar is winning. Pony up the dough and buy one. Stop doing what other people do by buying other facebars trying to find one that is comparable to winning. You will just end up spending more money and being more disappointed.

You will just end up spending more money and being more disappointed.What you pointed out was how I was thinking, and I kind of regretted by thinking "cheap".

I hear the Everlast one moves around a lot. In fact from what I've heard, the only facebar worth the money is the Wininng...all the others move around a lot.

You don't have to get the facebar one though. How about getting the Winning FG-2900? That's still pretty expensive but I hear it offers really good protection. Grant has the Mexican Style Headgear and I hear that offers a lot of facial protection as well.

got the wining headgear today..

first thing i noticed when i opened it up, the headgear is really light..the lightest headgear ive had..it was alot smaller then i thought..like size wise..i thought it would be huge..and the padding isnt even that thick..its actually kinda thin compared to the ones ive had..

when i tried it on,the vision you have wearing this is like im not wearing a headgear at all..you have really good site on this and its great.i hate headgears that you can barely see **** when you wear it..it also hugs your head pretty tight and it feels great..

it pretty much feels like im not even wearing a headgear to sum it all up.i got a sz medium in red.i can already tell its gonna feel great when i get hit.like i wont feel anything despite it being kinda thin.mosdef worth my 220. go cop it!

Winning is by far the best i have one with the bar. And i dont believe you got a concussion from your headgear i dont really beieve they are ment to protect from punches more from cuts or falling i think

oh yeah i know that man.even with the best headhear out you can still get a concussion..it only reduces head damage to about 2% then you would without headgear and pretty much is for headbutts and cuuts..im just sayin my headgear is pretty beat up and worn out you know..but yeah winning definatley is by far the best
