D3O Headgear

[eagentebuddy]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has tried the D3O Intellishock headgear from rival boxing and can compare it to other headgears out there. It seems to me that any headgear that uses D3O technology has at least the potential to be the best headgear hands down.

rival is the new everlast. it sucks ass, dont buy it. cheap quality **** wit lots of gimmick that serves no purpose except to "look cool" and "modern" and "technological"

lots of n00bs get impressed with that crap

^disagree completely

exactly rival has some of the best mitts for padwork and some of the most comfortbale sparring gloves period. to compare it to everlast is laughable

So then nobody has tried the D3O headgear?

Rival is actually very good - not like Everlast at all. I'm sure they add the graphics and name all the trivial technology in order to market the products and sell them, but everything they produce is very well-made. Everlast is sold in sporting goods stores, which Rival is not. (I use that as an indicator of quality - if it's sold at a local sporting goods store, it isn't quality equipment).

The everlast stuff you find at walmart or sporting goods stores is mostly junk and will fall apart with any serious use. Their more expensive stuff is good quality.

Haven't heard any specifics about this headgear but it's still pretty new so not many people have bought it yet. Rivals other products are quality though so I wouldn't expect this to be any different.

All I know is their supposed more expensive gear touts 'everdri' technology. It should be called ever stink IMHO
