    Get a headgear with cheek protectors and just vaseline the headgear.

      The protective pad, on the inside of the headgear that pads the forehead, will irritate his skin. With or without vaseline.

      Here's what it comes down to kid. Would you rather not have zits or would you rather become a world champion? You will face many obstacles in this sport, acne should be an after thought if you have visions in your mind. And if you do have visions, let them propel you...........Rockin'

        Haven't laced them up since maybe 2008 so I can't really remember. I used to use the old open face joints so I would vaseline both my face and gear, but I did buy an expensive Grant headgear with the cheek protectors that never got used. Next time I'm in the basement I'll dig them out, curious now what the inside looks like.

          I don't see those in the stores too often? Did you buy them online?

            Yea, Grant never sold in stores, way too expensive. I think this headgear was $200-$250 brand new like 15 years ago. They used to have a website and it was a crappy bare bones site. Just looked for it now, couldn't find it. I think this is the exact headgear I have.



            Never used it sparring, but put it on and didn't really like it. Felt like my visibility was limited. Or maybe it was just I was just too used to the old open face ones.

              I was hunting as well and couldn't find the one you have. Very nice..

                Agree with you. Only by overcoming any obstacles, you can achieve success, with vaseline or without. If you have some troubles with your skin use any antifungal soap after training to clean it. It is enough.
