How to Measure Your Head for Boxing Headgear

|PunchPro Boxing
Red open-face boxing headgear sizing

Headgear that moves during sparring can block your vision and twist on impact. Measuring correctly prevents that.

How do I measure my head?

  1. Use a soft tape measure.
  2. Wrap it around your head just above the eyebrows and above the ears.
  3. Keep it level all the way round and read the measurement in cm.

Headgear size chart

Size Head circumference
S 52–55 cm / 20.5–21.5 in
M 55–58 cm / 21.5–22.8 in
L 58–61 cm / 22.8–24 in
XL 61–64 cm / 24–25.2 in

How should headgear fit?

Snug and stable: when you shake your head, the headgear moves with you. It shouldn’t press on your eyes or block your view.

Between sizes?

Choose the larger size if you have thick hair or braids and use the adjustable back to tighten.

FAQ

Is headgear sizing the same in sparring sets?
