Customer Reviews

Great protection for Brazillian Jiu Jitsu
I'm an audio engineer, and aural protection is a MUST! I put off buying headgear for a few months when I first started training. Finally, I decided I should get a pair, and I'm very glad I did! No more sore ears! Headgear doesn't choke, hurt your partner, slip too much, easy to clean, and offers great protection for your ears.

We found a keeper
As we head into another wresting season, this is the first year I don't need to buy another set of head gear to "try." We got this last year and it was perfect! It never slipped and my son loved it. I felt so bad watching the other kids with the slipping head gear -- or worse -- the kids without any!! Get this if your looking at the different headgears ... it has been the BEST for us!

Submission Grappler's Perspective
I had this ear guard for a few months and I have used several other (cheaper) ear guards. I think for wrestling, this ear guard is as good as it gets. It is really light and fits very comfortably. Another reviewer stated that it was a bit tight but I cannot imagine how that is possible because you can adjust all aspects of the guard. You can simply wipe it clean after use and it does not smell.

One thing, however, is that the ear part sticks out of the rest of the gear rather abruptly instead of rising gradually. This has presented me with some issues because it provides a handle that the opponent can hold onto. I discovered this ear guard made it a bit more difficult for me to squeeze out of guilotine or Peruvian necktie variety chocks compared to other ear guards when the opponent clamps down with the elbow. So I am taking one star off.

In short, it has a minor flaw for submission grapplers. Otherwise, I think it is pretty much perfect.
