Nose Guards?

[bikersk]

I've seen those before but never wore one. I've seen people spar in them as well as head gear with cage fronts. I think the thing to remember is that head gear was never intended to protect you from punches. They're only meant to stop cuts not to completely stop you from being punched.



It looks bulky to me but probably stops cuts and nose damage completely. The only thing is that it stops everything else too. To the extent that you depend on the headgear to protect you and do the work for you. But it looks like you have decent visibility with it. Might fog up from breathing.

Buts its better than this.



This headgear has zero visibility and only protects the nose from some angles. Its also extremely bulky and, despite actually being physically light, will still give you the feeling of being weighed down.

I've used one just a couple of times like the red one there, different brand though. It doesn't even fit my big fat head too well and I didn't have too much trouble with vision. I could hear guys calling out "use the hook he won't see it coming" and things like that but i didn't notice much difference from the full open face ones really, and it did protect my nose ok.
