I am looking for recomendations for head gear that will be used by my son (7 years old). He currently uses a standard dipped foam head gear but I need to get something with a face sheild or something with more facial protection.
1. If you use one what is your preference and why?
2. Do you have a student or kids that wear them and what do they prefer? Please include brand and model.
3. If you wear one how is the load distributed when taking a punch or kick?
4. Can anyone recomend a head gear that extends to the cheekbones but doesn't cover the chin? Not as hot and face contact still not allowed.
The reason for this need is my son was kicked in the face as he was falling. Harder than usual and an accident exagerated by him falling into / towards the kick. It was a hard hit by a slightly bigger kid. He ended up damaging a tooth, it abscesed and needed to be pulled. Not a permanent tooth so we were lucky there. He did have his mouthguard in
Thanks in advance for your help.
