Anybody spar with competition headgear?

Actually...competition headgear has the cheeks as well. The difference between competition headgear and training headgear is the padding. Training headgear is more padded than competition headgear. Here are some examples:

We usually spar in Top Ten headgear at my club which is open faced. But we have got a head guards with more padding. I don't really have a preference, I just pick one.

It would take a lot of beer to make sparring in open-face headgear sound like a good idea to me.

haha... I've never sparred with anything but open face headgear.
