    Best headgear that protects the nose?

    Ok I got cracked in the nose really good sparring and it has been so sore that I can't spar right now for fear of breaking it. I don't mind getting hit but when it takes away from my training time that is no good. I have seen guys break their nose sparring and they were out for quite a while. Screw that.

    I am going to get some headgear that covers my nose and was hoping someone could recommend something. Nobody at my gym uses them and I have never seen them other than in magazines, like Ringside. Does anyone here use them, and if you do could you tell me what you use and where you got it?

    Like I said, the punches are no problem but when it affects my training time then I need to do something about it. I need to get back in sparring and have some protection on the nose. Any comments are much appreciated.

    You can get one of those full face headgears, where theres like a football helmet facemask like kickers have. Your nose will be protected but you will have obstructed vision. If you like to duck and roll you will hate it. I wore one before, I had stitches in my eye from a previous fight, but I will never put one on again unless I had an injury like yours. You can get the work with the headgear but it will obstruct your eyes.
