I am considering buying my own head gear for Muay Thai. I have done my research. I boiled down my choices to these two head gears:
^
Cleto Reyes Traditional Headgear with Nylon Face Bar
^
Winning FG-2900
Mainly, I am conidering a face bar headgear b/c I faced a guy from another gym (Boxing) and, as my coach explained, he broke part of my nose cartilage. I though it was broken although I had no swelling, and there is still a little dent in my nose. So I just don't want to be an idiot and wait for the day I break my nose in sparring.
If I was purely boxing it would be no question and I would be going for the Cleto face bar. But, on the other hand if a face bar design would impead my vision too much for Muay Thai, such as certain kicks or clench stuff, I'm thinking I will have to settle for the best Mexican style headgear out there. What do you guys think?
