Are your head guards approved for competition?

We make head guards to your specification and do not claim any governing body's approval. If you need gear for a sanctioned event, check that body's requirements first.

Can protective gear match our club's gloves?

Yes. One colour reference and one logo treatment carry across head guards, protectors and gloves in the same order.

Do you make kids' head guards and protective gear?

Yes. Head guards, protectors and shin guards are made in kids' sizes alongside the adult range, in the same colours and branding.

Where can our logo go on protective gear?

Wherever it stays visible in use: the brow or cheek of a head guard, the front of a body protector, the shin of a guard or the cuff of a wrap, by DTF, heat transfer or screen print. Placement is confirmed on your mockup before sampling.

What is the minimum order for custom protective gear?

50 pieces per design — one product in one colourway — split across sizes in any mix. Head guards, shin guards, protectors and wraps are different products, each with its own patterns and set-up, so they can't be combined to reach 50; a second colourway counts as a new design.

Do you make a sample before bulk production?

Yes, free. After a free mockup, a sample head guard or protector is made so you can check the coverage, the padding and how it fastens when it is worn. Bulk production starts only after you approve it, and is checked against it. If it needs changes, your first revised sample is free.

How long does a custom protective gear order take?

The sample is free and delivered in 7–10 days. Bulk production typically takes 4–6 weeks from sample approval, plus courier transit. Your exact dispatch date is confirmed in writing with your quote.

Can we reorder the same protective gear later?

Yes. Each product's specification is stored digitally and the approved samples stay in the workshop, so a reorder of head guards or shin guards keeps the coverage and padding you approved. Your dispatch date is confirmed in writing when you place it.

Which head guard style should we choose?

Open-face head guards give the widest vision, cheek-protector styles add coverage at the side, and full-face guards protect the nose and chin for sparring. For competition, check your governing body's rules before choosing.
