USI Universal SANDA HEADGUARD (SANSHOU) – 615CGU

Description

A Sanda headguard is a protective gear worn during Sanda (also known as Sanshou or Chinese kickboxing) training and competitions to safeguard the head and face from strikes and impacts. When looking for a leather Sanda headguard, consider the following features:

1. Material:
   • Leather headguards are often made from genuine leather for durability, comfort, and flexibility. Some may also have synthetic leather options, which can offer good durability and may be more affordable.
2. Padding:
   • Adequate padding is crucial to absorb and distribute impact forces from punches, kicks, and other strikes. High-density foam padding is commonly used in quality headguards to provide protection without sacrificing comfort.
3. Coverage:
   • The headguard should offer comprehensive coverage, protecting the forehead, temples, cheeks, chin, and the back of the head. Check that it provides ample protection to reduce the risk of injuries.
4. Adjustability:
   • Look for a headguard with an adjustable closure system, such as a hook-and-loop strap or lace-up closure. This ensures a secure and customizable fit, allowing the headguard to stay in place during intense training or sparring.
5. Ventilation:
   • Proper ventilation is essential to prevent overheating during training. Some headguards have mesh panels or perforations to enhance breathability and keep the head cool.
6. Ear Protection:
   • Some headguards feature additional padding around the ears for added protection. Ensure that the design allows for clear hearing and does not obstruct communication.
7. Visibility:
   • The headguard should provide clear visibility for the wearer, ensuring that it doesn’t obstruct the line of sight. Check for a design that offers optimal visibility while still providing protection.
