Youth Tornado Wrestling Headgear

I had the opportunity to beta test the F5 headgear 15 years ago (can't believe it has been that long) as a high school wrestler at a camp at the University of Michigan. I was used to the Cliff Keen classic headgear, padding over steel ear cups. Wearing these was like wrestling in air conditioning, they were extremely comfortable with the added ability of being able to hear your surroundings completely. For youth wrestlers you can not go wrong with these headgear. The biggest challenge with kids and wrestling is that they do not want to wear headgear in practice, it's hot, uncomfortable, and if you aren't used to wearing headgear you will want to take them off once you start to sweat, subjecting kids to cauliflower ear. The tornado headgear will solve that, kids who aren't used to wearing them will be much more comfortable in these than traditional headgear. They are a bit pricier than other headgear, they are 100% worth it though, no sewn parts to fray, comfortable, durable padding, strong velcro straps for easy adjustment, simply the best on the market.

My wrestler loves them.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. My son is 8 years old and 67.5 lbs and this headgear fits him perfectly (it is easily adjustable). The plastic over the ears allows for breathability and bc of that my son does not complain when wearing it. He has worn this in at least 25 matches and has yet to adjust it during a match (he wrestles on an 'intermediate' level so lots of head pulling lol). I've seen many many kids lose their headgear in the middle of a match! My son has a minor hearing impairment and thanks to the placement/holes in the headgear he can finally hear his coach during a match. He struggled significantly with his last pair (b/c of the padding on the ears) and he could not hear his coach in the loud gym. To me, this is the best part. Do not be deterred at the plastic design! Not only does it protect great, but it is also very difficult for opponents to grab/pull behind the ears/back of the head. All in all - Pay the couple extra $$ and GET THIS!!

This was my son's first year wrestling, so he only had 10-15 matches total. This headgear set worked really well for him after we got it sized correctly. We had some difficulty getting all the straps properly sized to my son's head, but once that was done, it fit well and provided great ear protection while still allowing my son to hear well. Pros: good padding, comfortable, fits securely, allows child to hear (doesn't muffle sound like other headgear) Cons: Multiple straps take a long time to fit correctly, chin strap is cheap foam and probably won't last more than a season. I definitely recommend this headgear set with the understanding it will take some time time and readjustment to get it to fit correctly.

Got these for my 10 year old (who is on the smaller size). We have tried other headgear and they were just to big for his head. These fit him perfect around his ears. The only thing I wish was that the Velcro was a little longer. He has about 1/2"-1" left to adjust. But how slow my kids grow we should get a couple years out of them. We did notice that the chin strap did rub a little and leave marks under his chin. Couldn't figure out what it was at first and was about to take him to the Dr's and see if it was a fungal infection of some kind he got at wrestling. He wrestles Every other day and tournaments on the weekend so it wasn't going away. Last night we finally figured it out when I was looking at the placement of the strap. Will have to change something so it doesn't keep happening. The strap was very hard to snap and unsnap at first, but the more he uses it the easier it's getting. Otherwise, my son loves this head gear. Says it really comfortable. If he's at a large tournament with a lot of matches going on he does say that it can be hard to hear his coach. Sometimes the sound will just ring and he doesn't like that. Guessing it has something to do with the plastic and how it's shapped. But it must not bother him enough because he still wants to wear it. All and all I'm very pleased with this.

I recently bought this product and I'm really impressed with its performance. The quality is top-notch, and it does exactly what it promises. I especially love everything about it, which has made my life easier. It arrived on time and was well-packaged, making the unboxing experience great. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for Perfect color size and cheap. Easy to use with perfect size and thick. Comfort is perfect with good adhesive

Very adjustable works very well. Fits perfectly. Worth every dollar. My 5 year old uses this and works great for him

At first these were hard to get to fit, but once we got them all fitted and adjusted they are super comfortable and easy to put on.

No me quedó porque las bandas son muy cortas, en especial las que van en la parte de atrás de la cabeza, no tienen mucho ajuste; es más para un niño o adolescente con cabeza pequeña. Aun así la parte de las orejas es perfecta, tengo las orejas grandes y se siente muy cómodo, en ningún momento tocaron la parte plástica. Voy a buscar un modelo más grande

Does not fit a an adult
