    Which head guard do you recommend for nose protection for a long/straight nose? I have seen one that covers the whole face and one with a bar? Also any size advice would be great.

    You must really love your unbroken nose! I like the MMA ones with the metal bar across the middle. :)

    Metal bar?

    Do you have a link, Chadderz?

    Believe it or not it was broken but the hump is continuous with the septum because the cartilage just grew that way.

    It's not a fracture I am worried about it's uppercuts landing flush with the underside and nostrils. My coach has stopped me sparring because he saw my eyes roll back when hit with one of them. It's been a problem when I was training as a kid too.

    I've heard of the ones with a metal bar. Not sure I want to spar anyone wearing one personally but its probably the best bet for protecting your nose.

    Low power

    First one is fine then, but if you have the extra £10.00 then buy the second one.

    Is the second superior?

    I've not used it, but it does look as though it has more padding.
