Bottom Line
Cleto Reyes's competition-grade model - maximum visibility, USA Boxing approved, but protection takes a back seat to comp rules.
Solid value for the protection offered.

Intended Use
Who This Is For
The Cleto Reyes Olympic Amateur is built for one purpose: competition. USA Boxing rules require judges to see a fighter's face clearly, and this strips away everything that isn't necessary - leaving an open-face design that maximises visibility to 10/10 while still offering the brand's signature natural leather construction and latex foam padding. At 21.2 oz it is the lightest Reyes , and the water-repellent inner lining helps manage sweat across multiple rounds. Available only in the two most common competition colours - Classic Red and Electric Blue - to match standard corner assignments. For training-only sparring the Cheek Protector or Redesigned offers better protection; this model is squarely for fighters who need to train in match conditions.
Who It's Not For
- Heavy sparring
- Those needing cheek or chin protection
- Non-competing fighters
