Material – From the outside head guards are usually made from hide, full grain or synthetic leather which helps the head guard stay robust and durable. Usually the real leather has a better finish than the synthetic guards. As I said in the comfort section most have a suede or gel leather material on the inside – it doesn’t really bother me too much for either, but I prefer the suede inside material. Do boxing head guards protect you? No– I’m not trying to scare anyone, but getting punched in the head even with protection can result in concussion regardless if you are wearing the best head protection or not – it’s obviously not good for your head to be punched either way, but it’s part of the sport boxing and it’s why you should practice things like head movement and defense to minimize the damage you will encounter. It also won’t stop you from getting punched in the body either which can cause serious damage itself. Comfort– You want to make sure your head is comfortable while wearing them as you don’t want to be uncomfortable while sparring. Most generally have soft suede material on or a gel padded leather on the inside. This isn’t the biggest concern for me personally as its more about how secure the head guard is – you will also be sweating a lot while wearing this, so comfort can something go out the window!
