Gear & Equipment Discussion Did I mention that the gear you use is cheap and flimsy?

Best headgear for MMA?

Hey guys,

I'm now looking for a good headgear for my MMA sparring.

Ideally I would like the Winning FG2900, but it's very expensive as you all know.

Is there any other head gear what offers good face and nose protection like the FG2900, while offering good all round performance in sparring?

I appreciate all the help guys!

Thanks!

I think the Rival d3o headgear would be a pretty good purchase for much less than a fg2900. http://store.titleboxing.com/rival-d...-headgear.html

Damn, was just about to say FG2900. I like to think of it like this, this is going to be the only head gear you'll ever need for quite some time ;)

I'd suggest you try on a facebar headgear if you'd like good nose protection. Some people say you can't see kicks with it but I find it non-issue if my chin is down as in "proper" form

really may want to consider waiting for the new Golden Gear Pro MMA Headgear



Handmade, handcrafted, and handstitched by expert craftsmen in Thailand. Similar design but I believe it uses higher quality foams and materials than the winning headgear. It is also made from strong 100% cowhide leather and is a fraction of the cost compared to winning!

No nose protection on this one, though...If that is not important than you are OK. Otherwise, it might be worth waiting for the Golden Gear Winning inspired headgear. I have a few pieces of gear from Golden Gear and I can say they are very high quality.
