Hey guys,
I am looking for a head guard that will offer good visibility, (I am a fast, slick, counter-punching stylist) as this is paramount to my style, i do want optimum protection.
I have little if no fear in a busted lip or black eye, I am however afraid to break my nose or jaw in a sparring session, anything that will affect my face in the long-term, i would rather avoid!
I do not wish to lead you guys in thinking that I am terrified to get hit, as this is not true, I just don't want to take the risk of having a broken nose or jaw unless a trophy (or a record win) is on offer!
I would like a headgear that protects the nose well but still offer good visibility, I think a facesaver head gear is a little over the top and would prefer a traditional style of head gear.
The only headgear I have found 100% good feedback is the Winning Range, I am looking at the FG-2900, but have a few questions:
1. The head gear is made out of artificial leather compared to leather which most of the higher brands' headgear is made out of, is there a reason for this?
2. My head has a circumference of 58 cm, what size headgear would you guys reccommend?
3. Is the headgear easy to put on? Do I need someone to tie it up at the back?
4. When getting hit in the nose does the padding just hit the nose first or does it prevent any nose contact??
This is the head guard in question:

Does any one else have any expereince with this head guard?,
How does it compare to the grant professional headguard?:
this is a link to the Grant Pro Guard:

Lastly, does anyone know for certain if these two companies deliver to the UK?
thanks,
And for anyone who can help me with any headguard advice, I promise I have some material for you guys that you will love!!!!!
