I just got my fg 5000 silver and green winning headgear and I'm starting to think I got it in a size too small. I use the fg 2900 in large, but my coach told me to get my next headgear in medium. so I did, now my headgear is either too small, or I'm doing something wrong.
My forehead absolutely aches if I have this thing on for 30 seconds. I got punched lightly in the face with it and the chin strap sortve chokes me if the headgear moves back. the headgear also makes no contact with my cheeks, just my forehead. also it's extremely stiff, everything about it is stiff as a rock.
the main thing is, can somebody explain how to put this thing on without having so much pressure against my forehead?
I used to own the old 20oz fg5000 in a size large, i up graded to the new model 15oz in the same size large and it was to small hurt my face like hell. I think it is down to the frame of the new model being a little different inside hugs your face a little more than the old one . I exchanged mine for a 2Large and it fits perfect now, so IMO id get the next size up from your last model e.g if you was i medium go for a large, & save your self the time exchanging it.
