Rival head guards are sized by head circumference — measure your head with a soft tape and pick the size that brackets your measurement. The S/M and L/XL options on certain RHG models have adjustable straps to span both adjacent sizes, useful when fitting a coach's head guard across multiple students.
Fit tip: Head guards should sit snug enough to stay put through 3 minutes of rolling but not so tight they crush your forehead. If your measurement falls exactly between sizes, size up — padding compresses, foam does not stretch.

How to measure your head
- Wrap a soft tape around the largest part of your head — about an inch above the ears and across the forehead.
- Keep the tape level all the way around. The tape should be snug but not compressed against the skull.
- Take the measurement bareheaded — no cap, no wrap, hair pushed flat.
- If you have a thick hairline or wear a hairband for sparring, add half an inch.
