Unlike some other ear guards, like the old clam shells, that basically just press against your ear to immobilize it; these ear guards have a little pocket for your ear to go into and roam freely. This makes it much more comfortable.

The picture makes it look like they may be a little too thick and interfere with squeezing your head through tight places, but I've found them to be no worse than any other ear guards in that respect.

The straps are nylon with velco which I have found to be just as secure as the plastic kind, but a little more comfy.

All in all a very good product.

I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu regularly (3 times or more per week) and constantly go up against larger guys. Think 30lbs+ heavier. I was ready to love this headgear but it keeps slipping off and shifts around the longer you roll. Sometimes when my opponent puts pressure against the side of my face the ear guard puts unnecessary pressure against my ear. Or if the ear guard shifts, my ear is partially exposed and there is pressure on my exposed ear. This is unacceptable as it no longer has a function as an ear protector.

I have modified the earguard making it super tight, snug, loose and nothing works to make the earguard fit well and not have issues above.

Also, I purchased from Cannon Sports which takes too long to ship the product. After a week I contacted them to cancel my order and they just shipped it the next day. How very suspicious. I would not buy this product again and not buy from Cannon Sports again.

good quality product, although the velcro chin strap is starting to wear out already. Very lightweight but stong w/ear protection and not painful or cumbersome to wear. Shipped promptly.

This is the best headgear my son has ever used. Coverage is good, fit is perfect. I would never use any other

These things are super easy to fit, and once they are fit right they don't slide around at all. They're fairly low profile to the ear, but they are BIG. Full coverage over your ear and then some.

I would buy them again, havent had any ear issues since I started using this and the fit can't be beat.

I use these for BJJ and they work well at protecting my ears. They seem to slide around a bit when they're sweaty but my ears no longer get sore.

I bought this head gear for my 10 year old was previously using the three strap design and thought we would give the won a try since it was a great price ,its a little difficult to adjust but as long as you have the chin strap adjusted tight it will not fall of and then the chip strap just snaps on my son also likes the roominess of the ear covers

Our high school grandson got this from us for his last year of wrestling and he loves it. It protects his cauliflower ear from getting injured and it fits comfortably and stays on good.

We purchased a standard headgear last year as it was our son's first time wrestling and we weren't going to buy anything top of the line yet. He loved wrestling and so this year he asked for the Cliff Keen Twister Headgear. It was pricier than the last one and he already had one but I could see how the cheap headgears get in the eyes as you are wrestling. This one has never fallen or even been pulled into his eyes. He says it is very comfortable and is SO much better than the basic versions of headgears. Mostly because the top strap is positioned just right. If you purchase this, you will be happy.

Pros: Doesn't move out of place or into eyes
Comfortable
Very well made and durable.

Cons: A little pricier than the basic (but that's always the case isn't it)
No other cons found
