Their product is the first of it's kind on the market and is a great replacement to traditional wrestling headgear.

Chris Power 18 Member Since: 9/22/08 Posts: 4407	For the uneducated/non-training type (aka me) what is the difference between this and a large headband? Not trying to be cheeky or anything, just wondering if it's the material used or the style of it or something else I'm not seeing? You have ignored this user.

Marcelw03 Edited: 12/10/12 2:36 PM Member Since: 9/24/12 Posts: 4	@Master Bater, It's a pretty snug fit, so it is designed to stay in place. When I go to my inverted gaurd it sometimes slides a bit, but no more than wrestling head gear would. If it does slide or come off, adjust it or throw it to the side and keep rolling, it's training gear. You have ignored this user.

Marcelw03 Edited: 12/10/12 2:19 PM Member Since: 9/24/12 Posts: 5	@Chris Power, You're correct. The concept is based on other headband products. Products such as a headband runners use to shield from cold weather. The added feature on the JitzGear Ear Protector, is the additional reinforcement around the ears. This will prevent ear damage, commonly known as cauliflower ear. You have ignored this user.

Drewout 3 Member Since: 8/21/06 Posts: 2229	If I could buy it without the name on it, or if they would replace the name with a cool logo - then maybe I would try it, but the name on it is ugly as heck. Also why are there no pictures on the website of people actually wearing them? Does look like a good concept and if it is a good product I wish them well. You have ignored this user.

TheDecider Member Since: 1/7/09 Posts: 610	Interesting idea. How breathable is the material? My current head gear is plastic and gets very hot. As others have mentioned, I would also prefer a smaller less noticeable logo or no logo. You have ignored this user.

Marcelw03 Edited: 12/11/12 10:14 AM Member Since: 9/24/12 Posts: 12	@TheDecider, There are currently two options, 'JitzGear logo' and 'Custom Logo'. Based on this feedback, I am going to add a third option for 'No Logo'. The material is Neoprene, the same type of material used in knee sleeves. You have ignored this user.

Marcelw03 Edited: 12/11/12 8:34 AM Member Since: 9/24/12 Posts: 13	@Master Bater, I only wear the Ear Protector during live rolls, so 5 to 8 min at a time. It might get a little warm, but that's to be expected when training. You have ignored this user.
