This review is from: Top Contender Groin-Abdominal Protector (Misc.)

When I first got into boxing, I wanted to make sure I liked it before spending a ton of cash on gear. My coach said he would hook me up with a good entry-level set of equipment at low cost, so I gave him free reign to do so. One of the items I ended up with was the Top Contender (TC) Groin-Abdominal Protector.

He ordered me a Large, and the elastic strap fit around my 35" waist just fine. The TC is easy to slip on over shorts, and I never had to adjust the laces in back. My groin area and the section of my abs just above it were adequately protected. Also, it didn't restrict my movement around the ring.

However, as time went on and I got deeper into sparring, I decided I needed greater protection for my forty-year-old sides and kidneys (some of those young guys hit pretty hard, and the inexperienced ones get a bit wild). Plus, I wanted to wear what an actual boxer would have on during competition. And a belt with a hook and loop (Velcro) closure would be handy in case I wanted to adjust the fit. So, I retired my TC and traded up to the Ultimate Classic No-Foul Protector, also available from Ringside (see my review of it for more details).

The Top Contender Groin-Abdominal Protector is a fine entry-level guard for your nether regions. If you decide that boxing isn't your thing, you won't be out a lot of dough. But keep in mind that if you get seduced by the Sweet Science, you'll want to upgrade before long.
