Amazing review as always! Recently broke my nose during Muay Thai sparring. I know that the best solution for defense is to improve head movement but cannot afford to be out from training and work for another 2-3 weeks. What would you recommend for a face saver headgear under $200?
I found it to be much sleeker and slimmer on my head the the Fly Superbar as the Fly Superbar wraps around my nose and high check bones vs the Phenom FSHG-250 which wraps lower around my mouth and jaw and more narrow area
I contacted the manufacturer regarding the protection. They couldn’t mention anything about concussion reduction. They don’t have numbers. The foam they use might not reduce concussions or absorb impacts protecting your brain. From the head guards you have reviewed do you know any which really reduce the impacts?
My advice has always been a headguard is NOT part of your defence Improve your hand defence Head movement Footwork to evade / block punches This the way to reduce concussions or impacts to the brain
@@Fit2Box of course improving the neck and head movement and skills will always be better! However, we are talking about a product which was designed to specifically protect the head the protection that this product offers should be assessed. Even the winning headgear doesn’t offer numbers, what headgear would you recommend then?
Thanks for you amazing review bro you helped me so much with gloves and shoes ! Now it's Headgear time lol and I dont know wich one to buy between this one and the no bare version ( I have pretty long and big nose lol ) but I'm scared to lose too much vision and can't put my gloves close to my face ( peek a boo style ). I would like to know what choice you would have made ? Sorry for the broken english and keep the good work
www.fit2boxchannel.com/face-bar-headguards Scroll down for my full list on my website It’s a trade between vision and protection with bar v cheek headguards But some vision on the bar headguards is now much improved
@@Fit2Box deciding between their facebar and cheek protector 😅 bought 2 of them, but just slightly afraid that it will be harder to adapt to a facebar one :)
@@Augur007 well, if the punch is accurate (something like a stiff jab) then yes. I decided to move on with a facebar version. Don’t know why but I had worse vision from sides in their cheek version, so decided to stay with a facebar
@@Fit2Box I’m not sure I think it is fitted correctly it seems like it is. I measured my head when I bought it and it was right. It’s fits around my head etc. Just can’t understand how the punches got through the head guard to my nose. I felt the jabs hit my nose I had my chin tucked etc so not sure how it happened. The bridge of my nose bone is swollen and sore from the jabs I caught. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong with my defence.
@@Fit2Box thank you. Is there any other you would reccomend specifically for my contacts issue? A face saver headguard would definitely force me to improve head movement.
A vast improvement from the previous bar headgear, which was good, but this one is levels above.
I agree 👍🏼
how does this compare to the cleto face saver?

I’ve been waiting for this review!
Can you do a review on the mk1 closed face headgear

Me too I reviewed a couple weeks ago and I love it, but I want to see Simon's opinion on it
I found it to be much sleeker and slimmer on my head the the Fly Superbar as the Fly Superbar wraps around my nose and high check bones vs the Phenom FSHG-250 which wraps lower around my mouth and jaw and more narrow area
Please could you do a review on the Geezers 2.0 elite pro Face bar head guard. Thank you kindly
Mahhh man! thanks for the review. How are the ear donuts in these? I Have the fly's but the ear donuts are like slits -- extremely uncomfortable.

I have the same question!

Improve your hand defence
Head movement
Footwork to evade / block punches
This the way to reduce concussions or impacts to the brain

Scroll down for my list 👍🏼
Headgear is only used to prevent cuts. That's always been their purpose.
can you review the sabas face saver headgear
Will you be reviewing the new empire “Spartacus 2” glove?
Is the fly lighting the same weight as the fly premium and X?

It’s a trade between vision and protection with bar v cheek headguards
But some vision on the bar headguards is now much improved
i looked on the site but do you have any rec's for no cheek headguards? seems like only ringside has them but wondering if you know any other brands
Does it protect you better for example if you receive a punch to the forehead rather than a cheek protector? Or it’s kinda same?:)
Fantastic all round protection
@@Fit2Box deciding between their facebar and cheek protector 😅 bought 2 of them, but just slightly afraid that it will be harder to adapt to a facebar one :)
@@Maliwdoes your nose feel the hits you get in the non bar head gear?
@@Augur007 well, if the punch is accurate (something like a stiff jab) then yes. I decided to move on with a facebar version. Don’t know why but I had worse vision from sides in their cheek version, so decided to stay with a facebar
Would you pick this over the MK1 face bar ??
Not tryed mk1 face bar
Can you compare it to the winning, as they both share the same score on your website? Thanks, keep up the good work!
Both rate the same overall score
So I rate them equally
Individual scores on the cards also tell you how they compare
I wore this head guard sparring and I still got a bruised nose. I got hit by jabs that came through. Am I doing something wrong with the head guard?
@@gstyle5475 if fitted correctly this shouldn’t happen
Also Are you doing something wrong with your defense 👀🥊

@@gstyle5475 what is you defence against a jab?
@@Fit2Box parrying, slipping, ducking. The jabs being thrown at me are at same intensity during a fight
@@gstyle5475 I would work more on your hand defences catch and parries
Would you reccomend this one for those with concerns about contact lenses getting knocked out during sparring?
Yes but remember improve your hand defence head movement so the headguard is not seen as part of your defence it shouldn’t be
@@Fit2Box thank you. Is there any other you would reccomend specifically for my contacts issue? A face saver headguard would definitely force me to improve head movement.
@@alexmo1941 www.fit2boxchannel.com/face-bar-headguards
Here is my list
@@alexmo1941you shouldn’t be sparring with contacts in, it’s safer to just take them out
anyone used? how did you find it?
Do you not believe my opinion in the videos ? 👀😂
@@Fit2Box Yeah i do, just wondering on different opinions. I like your videos👍
I got 1, It's really nice but a bit heavy. Prefer Winning but still comfy and gives great vision for a bar one.@@ax99sound
I did :)
Finally 🔥
