Ringside Head Guard Size Guide
Ringside head guards are sized by head circumference, measured about 1" above your ears. A correctly sized head guard sits snug without sliding when you move and shouldn't impair your peripheral vision.
Fit tip: If you sit between two sizes, go for the smaller one — head guard padding compresses slightly with wear and a loose guard can rotate during punches, exposing the chin or temples. Look for Ringside's adjustable rear strap to dial in the final fit.
| Size | Head size | Fitted hat size |
|---|---|---|
| YS / YM (Youth) | 20 1/8" - 20 7/8" | 6 3/8" - 6 5/8" |
| YL / YXL (Youth) | 20 7/8" - 21 5/8" | 6 5/8" - 6 7/8" |
| Small | 21" - 22" | 6 3/4" - 7 1/4" |
| Regular | 22" - 23 1/2" | 7 1/4" - 7 5/8" |
| Large | 23 1/2" - 25" | 7 5/8" - 8" |
| X-Large | 25" - 26" | 8" - 9" |
How to measure
- Head circumference — wrap a soft tape measure around your head approximately 1" (2.5cm) above your ears, across the middle of your forehead and around the broadest part of the back of your skull.
- Hat size cross-check — if you know your fitted hat size (US sizing), use the right-hand column to confirm.
- Try with hood / wraps — if you train in a hooded base layer or skull cap, measure over the top of those for an accurate fit.
