Boxing Headgear

Part of the fun and intensity of boxing is that the target is (usually) the head – it’s why the sweet science is such an adrenaline rush, and can prove so addictive for so many gym goers. But the reality of being hit in the head can be a little less enticing than the prospect, so it’s important to protect yourself with boxing headgear.

Boxing headgear takes the form of a specifically designed helmet that covers most of the head, whether in a full face or open face style. The best boxing headgear provides all the protection you need without impeding your view.

Boxing Headgear FAQs

Do you need to wear boxing headgear?

While professional boxers don’t wear headgear, amateur and Olympic boxers always do, so anyone who isn’t a pro should definitely protect their head. It’s important to note that while headgear is effective at protecting against cuts, splits and swelling, it only provides limited protection against concussion.

Is full face or open face headgear better?

In terms of protection, full face headgear is better as it offers extra protection for your jaw. Some people find full face boxing headgear a little restrictive though, and may choose open face headgear for the extra comfort it offers.
