The Phenom Headguard Range

Precision Protection: Understanding the Phenom Headguard Series

Choosing the right headguard is a balance of protection, visibility, and weight. At Phenom, we have engineered distinct series to match different sparring needs—from the ultra-lightweight mobility required by speed-focused boxers to the maximum "face-saver" protection relied on in professional fight camps.

The Three Core Styles

  • Cheek Protectors (SHG): The standard for daily sparring. These feature rounded cheek padding to absorb impact while maintaining good downward visibility and freedom of movement..
  • Face Savers (FSHG): Designed with a reinforced bar across the front to fully shield the nose. Professionals often switch to these 2–3 weeks before a fight to ensure they enter the ring injury-free.
  • Open Face (MOHG): Preferred by amateurs or defensive specialists who rely on head movement. This style offers maximum visibility but the least facial coverage.

One of the lightest on the planet

The 270 Series

Engineered to maximise vision and minimize fatigue during long sparring sessions. The 270 Series achieves its weight reduction through a streamlined profile and advanced lightweight materials.

  • SHG-270 (Cheek): Utilises UK-manufactured advanced TPE foam (thermoplastic elastomer), which is significantly lighter than standard foams while offering outstanding shock absorption.
  • XHG-270 (Cheek): Built on the streamlined 270 profile, this model integrates XRD® Protection. This specialist material is soft to the touch but hardens instantly upon impact to form a protective shell.  "Feel the intensity of the sport, not the impact"
  • FSHG-270 (Face Saver): Re-engineered with a super-light alloy frame and optimised padding layout, significantly reducing the weight usually associated with nose-protection headguards – a truly vision-focused design.  

The Professional Standard

The 250 Series

Our best-selling range that offers robust, trusted protection with the traditional balance of coverage, durability, and comfort that has made Phenom a staple in professional camps. 

  • SHG-250 (Cheek): Features multi layer padding with premium high-density EVA that absorbs and distributes impact forces effectively. It provides all round coverage that extends across the forehead, cheeks, ears, and back of the head.
    Note: The 252 Series offers identical construction in metallic colorways.
  • FSHG-250: Built around an adjustable steel core frame, paired with layered padding for dependable nose protection and confidence in heavier sparring.

Luxury Performance

The 300 Series

The pinnacle of comfort and durability. Structurally similar to the 250 profile but crafted from luxurious Italian leather,  advanced Japanese foams and a high-density premium foam core for superior longevity.

Microfibre Construction

The M-Series

The M-Series offers the same proven protection and internal construction as our 250 Series, but replaces leather with a durable, high-grade microfibre outer.

Easy Access

The 210 Series

Designed for ease of use, the SHG-210 features a Velcro strap system rather than laces. 

  • SHG-210: Suede lining for maximum grip and stability
  • FSHG-210D: Fixed plastic frame design, also highly popular for combat sports.
