About Cliff Keen Athletic
From 1925-1970, one name was synonymous with collegiate wrestling--Cliff Keen. During that time, Coach Keen led the University of Michigan wrestling teams to a record of 268 wins, 91 losses, nine ties and 13 Big Ten championships. Overall, he coached 68 All-Americans as well as 81 Big Ten champions. Cliff Keen also coached the 1948 United States Olympic team and was on the U.S. Olympic Committee for many years. In addition, he served as the first president of the National Wrestling Coaches Association, and invented the original wrestling head guard.

Coach Keen brought his years of wisdom to the table when he started the company in 1958. And for forty some years, it's been proving, improving, and perfecting its product line. Cliff Keen Athletics understands the dedication, hard work, and passion wrestlers bring to their sport everyday, and it's this same drive that the company puts into each of its products.

4.0 out of 5 stars Submission Grappler's Perspective, March 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cliff Keen F5 Tornado Headgear (Misc.)
I had this ear guard for a few months and I have used several other (cheaper) ear guards. I think for wrestling, this ear guard is as good as it gets. It is really light and fits very comfortably. Another reviewer stated that it was a bit tight but I cannot imagine how that is possible because you can adjust all aspects of the guard. You can simply wipe it clean after use and it does not smell.

One thing, however, is that the ear part sticks out of the rest of the gear rather abruptly instead of rising gradually. This has presented me with some issues because it provides a handle that the opponent can hold onto. I discovered this ear guard made it a bit more difficult for me to squeeze out of guilotine or Peruvian necktie variety chocks compared to other ear guards when the opponent clamps down with the elbow. So I am taking one star off.

In short, it has a minor flaw for submission grapplers. Otherwise, I think it is pretty much perfect.

This review is from: Cliff Keen F5 Tornado Headgear (Misc.)
As we head into another wresting season, this is the first year I don't need to buy another set of head gear to "try." We got this last year and it was perfect! It never slipped and my son loved it. I felt so bad watching the other kids with the slipping head gear -- or worse -- the kids without any!! Get this if your looking at the different headgears ... it has been the BEST for us!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great protection for Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, February 6, 2008
By 
This review is from: Cliff Keen F5 Tornado Headgear (Misc.)
I'm an audio engineer, and aural protection is a MUST! I put off buying headgear for a few months when I first started training. Finally, I decided I should get a pair, and I'm very glad I did! No more sore ears! Headgear doesn't choke, hurt your partner, slip too much, easy to clean, and offers great protection for your ears.
