Cliff Keen Wrestling-Protective-Headgear Cliff Keen F5 Tornado Headgear

This fit my 9 year old’s head perfectly. I also like how it is adjustable to make the best fit. The straps are strong and hold up great. It doesn’t slip off his head or out of place while wrestling either. We haven’t had any issues at all and he’s done plenty of meets and tournaments with no signs of the headgear wearing out.

Worked well. Comfortable. Didn’t have it falling off during matches.

So far so good time will tellExpensive

My son wears em for wrestling. Perfect fit

I have a wrestler background years back and started no-gi jiu jitsu a few weeks ago. A few triangles later I decided I really need headgear.Pros:1) VERY light. As light as the cheapie foam ones we used in HS.2) VERY comfortable. I've had the hardshell "turtle shell cups" and the cheapie foam ones. This combines the comfort of the foam ones (perhaps even better because this foam is squishier) with the protection of the hardshells. Slippage has been minimal for me, certainly less than the cheapie foams and a little less than the classic turtleshell cups. It's just a grippier foam that sticks to your head and it has more straps than a cheap foamie one. The foam chin strap is a nice touch.3) Hearing is excellent. Don't really have any difference between wearing it and not wearing it.4) Safe for my practice mate. It's a hardshell around the ears so it's protective, but it's not like any other hardshell I've used. It gives just enough when you push on it. So it's good for my partner and it's good for me cuz then you don't get the hardshell crushing your head or ear in the situations when it slips a little.5) Doesn't look horrible. Not like it's going to get you the ladeeyz (or boyz, whatever), but it's better than most. I got the all black one.Cons:1) Price. Yeah, it's definitely pricey. But yes, I do feel it's a world apart from lower level headgear and I'm glad I splurged.Also, I know someone mentioned that it gives more of a "handle" for people to grab and submit, but it hasn't been an issue for me at all. I'm a wrestler who shoots in and still use my head to help pivot the opponent and so I still get caught in a jillion guillotines and headlocks and triangles or whathaveyou. I've been able to slip out of them not much worse than without it. Just my personal experience.Overall: 9/10. I would prefer an extra strap running perpendicular to the other straps so it can protect my hair from getting caught even more than it already does, but that's a minor issue a lot of grapplers won't have (I have relatively long "fobby Asian-style hair).

This headgear is really comfortable per my son, but the chin strap always comes undone during matches and he ends up not being able to wear it because it keeps in snapping.

I use this for Brazilian jiu-jitsu. First impression when opening? I paid this much for Velcro straps and foam pads?I have used this for only a few sessions. It goes on tight cuz if it isn't it'll move. I forgot all about it after I started my warm up. Yeah I wore it through the whole sessions to get used to it. Used to what? If you don't wear suits with super tight shirts and ties you'll probably feel like you are with this. For me it straps tight to my throat, Adam's Apple or whatever but I feel like I have a tight tie on that's a lil high.This thing is adjustable ... completely. But from the first time I used it till now it loosened up so you have to adjust the straps every now and then instead of tightening the chin strap cuz the Velcro is limited on that strap..The foam padding is surrounded by a shiny plastic like material. If it remains in tact and doesn't crack I can see this thing as my favorite new gear. It shifted slightly once rolling with a 230lb blue belt. I heard a crushing sound but didn't notice any damage. I didn't like the shiny part but no matter. It works and doesn't absorb sweat. I wipe it up after with soapy water paper towel or alcohol pads but I don't know if alcohol will ruin the plastic or vinyl material.I can hear. No problem whatsoever unless my partner is covering my ear of course.Only one incident where I was being choked and my gi was rubbing against the headgear where it shifted noticeable. Better that than the gi crushing my ear but I could imagine possibility of the fear pushing against my ear if it shifted significantly it of place.Finally, you'll notice it is on again if your partner pushes on it or pulls. The ear part is big!I'll update after it has been abused.

Love this head gear my fourth one we have bought but they sent the wrong color combo. Not what was described or shown in picture
