FAQs
Does this headgear restrict vision during sparring?
No — the face bar design maintains clear sightlines while protecting your cheeks and chin. You’ll have full peripheral vision for spotting kicks and punches.
Can I use this for amateur competition?
Yes, the HGL3 meets the enclosed headgear requirements for most amateur Muay Thai and boxing competitions. Check your specific federation rules to confirm.
How tight should the laces be?
Lace snugly but not painfully tight — you want secure fit without pressure headaches. The velcro back strap handles most of the tension adjustment.
Does it work with mouthguards?
. The chin guard design accommodates all standard mouthguard types without interference.
