    lol yeah. my winning headgear is large, and when i tried everlast's "unisize" headgear, all it took was 1 grazing punch for the headgear to get pretty damn uncomfortable

    i wouldn't imagine what would happen to you if you have a smaller head than mine lol

      to the TS: why do you want a facebar in your headgear?
      you must have a pinhead then

      besides its not one size fits all its one size fits most. anything around what the average looks like whether its a little too small or a little too big is perfectly fine. its medium. guys with L will fit in and guys with S size. xl and xs will be a problem

        i cant find this version from ringside or title. I think I found the ebay seller, but $40 for shipping kills it for me.

              How about some regular competition head gear? That's all I wear personally, yes it's less protective, but ehh I like it that way, it makes me move my head more and I get used to punches so when they land I'm not suddenly in shock due to me not being used to less protection. If you don't plan on fighting though then perhaps the cleto or grants are the way to go with better protection than competition headgear.

                umm no? sizes are made for a reason. people's head aren't the same size, and you can learn it the hard way when you spend $129 + $40 shipping just to head your headgear blown out of place just by 3 or 4 punches

                here's an example:

                  The same guy reviews the everlast Safemax facebar in another video which comes in sizes L/XL and S/M. It looks alot better and definitely slimmer. Just type in everlast safemax headgear. The youtube channel is ratethisgear.

                    here's an example:

                    you act like every headgear has the same size. just because everlast produces a lot of **** doesnt mean everyone else does. by the way thats a one size fits all, stuff like that is not even possible. the comparison is terrible.

                    i can only speak for reyes and anybody with a small-large head should get the reyes headgear. if you have an XS or XL head youre better off with a really big headgear. i wear that thing, just trust me..

                      thanks everyone, still havent decided yet though.

                      The everlast looks nice, but for some reason I just cant trust everlast. Im still thinking about it though.

                      I like the reyes but the shipping is too much

                      I need the facebar. ill spar alot, and I dont want to risk a busted nose. Anyone at all have the no contact headgear from fighting? Ive searched around and I havent seen a single review on it anywhere.

                      I could just end up getting the FG 5000, maybe
