Open Face vs Closed Guard — Which Do You Need?
Closed Guard Head Guard
Full coverage including cheeks, chin, and side of the face. Recommended for beginners starting sparring — maximum protection while you're learning range and defence. The Killa Boxing Closed Guard Head Guard provides comprehensive coverage with high-density foam padding throughout.
Open Face Head Guard
Full head coverage without cheek or chin bars. Preferred by more experienced sparrers who prioritise visibility and ventilation. The Killa Open Face Head Guard is the guard used by most intermediate and advanced boxers at our gym.
What to Look for in a Boxing Head Guard
- Padding density: High-density foam — not the soft foam in cheaper guards that compresses immediately
- Shell material: Full grain leather or premium synthetic for durability
- Fit system: Adjustable velcro at the back for a secure, stable fit that doesn't shift on impact
- Cheek protection: Whether open or closed guard, cheek padding matters — it's where hooks land
Head Guard Size Guide
Most adult head guards are one-size with adjustable fit systems. The back strap should close so the guard sits firm — not so tight it restricts blood flow, but secure enough to not shift when punched. If you're between sizes, read our size guide or call us on 0477 111 600.
