That's ridiculously big. And you've just increased the target area by about double I'd say. Get the Everlast SafeMax, it's much more streamlined and although not as well padded I guarantee you'll get hit less.
I picked up the winning gear and it's extremly comfy. I have some eye damage so i needed some full face gear and it works well. The only drawback i've encountered while sparring is its a little more difficult to see uppercuts coming when your on the inside because of the bar.
I bought this headgear a week ago and i sparred twice with it and i must say i love it. I have not encountered any problem with it moving around when i get hit. But like you i have a rather large head. I actually had to loosen it a little bit cause it didn't fit at first.
I say go for it, The everlast safemax is similar to this as well but it doesn't have as much padding.
@brandeezy108 lucky you did, the safemax is better than the facesaver but im a HW boxer who hits hard, i need Gloves with A+ stitching and headgear that can stand up to heavyweight punches, i have used every brand name. Winning and Reyes are the best and the only gear i use.... i know your money was well spent. Congrats on the buy.
@kingovkingz LOL, a some few months ago i almost bought this stupid headgear. god thing i found this review. so what i did was save up my birthday money and lunch money. then i went from almost buying this atrocity to buying the winning fg5000! HA HA. i have no regrets. fg5000 is the best, best, BEST sparring headgear, no doubt. smart choice. it took 2 months to save up that money too!
bigger head gear, easier target.... all darth vaders step forward!!! big doesnt mean more protection, type of foam does and the quality of your head movement....
@axel151 no, he uses the winning fg 5000 headgear, which i bought because i saved up my money. look it up it's great! it's just expensive. but expensive things aren't a problem if your patient it took me 2 to 3 months tho save up for the fg5000 and i have no regrets. the fg 5000 is the best headgear around. again just look it up.
@jakovasourman1212 i heard the safemax facebar one from everlast is pretty good quality. he did a review of it recently. but anyway, i have the fg5000 winning headgear so i would suggest trying to save up ur cash. because winning is the freaking best!
very honest and accurate review! experienced the exact problems that you're talking about.

My bad, but my point is that Manny uses the 'face saver' design.

Most top Pro boxers use this exact headgear, Manny Pacquiao, for example, does.
