Intended Use
Who This Is For
The Fly Open Face is the brand's purist sparring piece — top-grade leather, pure open-face silhouette, made in Great Britain. No cheek protectors, no nose bar, no chin coverage. Just maximum visibility and pure leather construction for fighters who want minimal interference between their eyes and their opponent. Customer reviews on Trustpilot are strongly positive (87% five-star) with sizing notes suggesting it runs slightly snug. The pure open-face design is best for technical sparring partners who trust their head movement and want to read shots clearly. Less protective than the cheek-equipped Knight 2 or Gladiator 2 — and at $379, you're paying purely for the leather quality and UK construction.
Who It's Not For
- Beginners (no cheek or chin protection)
- Buyers wanting padding spec disclosure
