Train Without Fear. The Ultimate Barrier for Your Brain & Face.
Safeguarding the brain is the top priority for any athlete. The Sting Evolution Face Shield (Closed Face) is meticulously designed for fighters who need to spar hard while mitigating the risk of facial injury. Unlike standard head guards, this "Face Saver" model utilizes a reinforced internal cage to bridge the impact across the forehead and cheeks, ensuring punches never make contact with your nose.
Whether you are recovering from a nasal fracture or simply want the highest level of protection available to build confidence in the pocket, this closed-face head guard delivers the security you need without compromising your ability to breathe or hear.
Premium Technical Features
- Multi-Layer Impact Absorption: Advanced padding system designed to dissipate high-velocity strikes, protecting your brain and facial structure.
- High-Grade Leather Construction: Crafted for durability and a professional feel that stands up to the rigours of daily sparring.
- Secure Adjustment System: Features reinforced Velcro straps and a plastic buckle (protected by a leather flap) for a custom, "no-slip" fit that is easy to put on and take off alone.
- Contoured Ear Protection: Padded ear cups designed to prevent internal ear damage while maintaining the ability to hear your coach’s instructions.
The Fighter's Edge: Vision & Comfort
- Tapered Brow Design: Specially shaped to allow for maximum peripheral vision, ensuring you can see incoming hooks and uppercuts from the corners of your eyes.
- Optimised Chin Clearance: Protects the jaw without sitting too deep, ensuring your breathing remains unrestricted during high-cardio rounds.
-
Soft-Touch Inner Lining: A comfortable, non-abrasive lining that prevents skin irritation and reduces the head guard "spinning" when sweating.
Head Guards Comparison: Which Style Suits You?
Choosing between Closed-Face (like this Face Shield) and Open-Face head guards depends on your discipline and priorities.
| Comparison Factor | Closed Face / Face Shield (This Model) | Open Face Head Guards |
|---|---|---|
| Protection & Coverage | Superior Protection: Dedicated padding/cage covers cheeks, jaw, and nose. Absorbs impact across the entire facial structure. | Basic Coverage: Protects temples, forehead, and back of head. Leaves face exposed to bruising and cuts. |
| Visibility | Focused: Extra padding or nose bars can slightly obscure vision from certain angles, but increases confidence. | Wide Field: Tapered brows allow fighters to see out of the corners of eyes and track strikes easily. |
| Best Discipline | Boxing: Ideal where leg kicks are not a threat. Preferred by beginners for confidence, or pros protecting an injury. | Kicking Sports (Muay Thai/MMA): Essential for seeing incoming leg kicks, teeps, and knees from lower angles. |
Why Choose the Evolution Shield?
Whether you are an amateur or a seasoned pro, the Evolution series provides the ultimate fusion of safety and speed. Its striking White and Gold aesthetic doesn't just look the part—it signals a commitment to premium performance gear trusted by athletes worldwide.
Sambo Store Pro-Tip
The "Confidence" Factor. If you are hesitant in sparring because you are worried about a nose injury or work in a client-facing job where facial bruising isn't an option, this Evolution Face Shield is your best investment. The slight trade-off in lower peripheral vision is worth the ability to stay calm and keep your eyes open when punches are flying toward your face.
