TOP TEN head guards are sized by head circumference. Your hat size is not a reliable guide for this measurement. Using a tape measure (and not string because it can stretch or press into the skin, producing an inaccurate measurement,) measure around the head from just above the eyebrows around to the widest part of the skull in the back.

Why wear a TOP TEN Head Guard?

It may seem like a luxury to buy a German-made, patented head guard that costs more than twice what an average head guard might- until you really understand why TOP TEN is the #1 choice of professional and elite amateur fighters worldwide. It's a very simple formula: SAFETY - PERFORMANCE - VALUE.

SAFETY:

The TOP TEN Head Guard is a unique fighting sports safety device, and unlike any other head guard. The TOP TEN Head Guard molded in Germany of a special highly elastic closed-cell foam rubber called Bayflex®. Developed specifically for the requirements of full-contact fighting sports, Bayflex® and the TOP TEN Head Guard construction process are patented worldwide. Scientific testing shows that Bayflex® absorbs more shock energy than any other padding material, dramatically reducing the likelihood of injury. Since the introduction of TOP TEN boxing gloves, and the mandatory use of TOP TEN Head Guards in all AIBA, Olympic, World and other international boxing competitions, the knockout rate has been reduced to less than 1%. The combination of TOP TEN Bayfill® insert Boxing Gloves and TOP TEN Bayflex® Head Guards outperforms all other safety equipment for shock absorption and durability, and is rated fully 50% better than the equipment performance standards set by AIBA.

 

Independent studies at the Technical University of Berlin show the TOP TEN Head Guard is TEN TIMES better at absorbing impact than any other head guard, and the protection does not degrade with use. Every other head guard tested deteriorated in impact absorption performance and was WORN OUT in a few thousand impacts, while the TOP TEN Head Guard tested to 100,000 impacts with no loss of energy absorption.

PERFORMANCE:

In addition to being much safer, the TOP TEN Head Guard is more durable and more hygienic than any other fighting sports product. The Bayflex® closed-cell material is a rubber that does not absorb sweat or fluid, and can be cleaned completely.  Every TOP TEN Head Guard comes with a Lifetime Warranty, is virtually indestructible. Its impact-absorbing performance does not diminish over time, and it will not wear out- ever!  Many TOP TEN Head Guards have been in use by elite martial artists and boxers, several times a week, for over 20 years!  When the Velcro in the straps wears out after years of regular use, the straps can be replaced without tools in a few minutes, and the head guard will be like new again. The TOP TEN Face Shield is made of Lexan® polycarbonate, the same material in bullet-proof windows and unbreakable plastic cups. It will not crack, and spreads impact forces into the TOP TEN Head Guard, protecting facial bones and allowing fighters to continue a training regimen without aggravating healing injuries.

 VALUE:

A TOP TEN Head Guard is a lifetime investment in safety. It will take decades of daily training and frequent competition without peeling, cracking, absorbing sweat and odors, or losing any of its shock absorbing effectiveness. Every TOP TEN head guard comes with a Lifetime Warranty, and is approved for competition use by sanctioning bodies worldwide, from AIBA to the Olympics to WAKO. If you are serious about your fighting sport, and your personal safety, then a one-time investment in a TOP TEN Head Guard is really a no-brainer-- once you understand WHY...
