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.
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.

I would say it depends at what power you're going to receive. I use the first option, but if I was sparring fairly heavy on a regular basis would go for the second option.
