Who This Is For

The Fly Superbar is the brand's flagship full-face piece — designed to deliver Winning-style nose-bar protection at a slightly lower price with British craftsmanship and a distinctly modern aesthetic. Construction uses top-grade leather over a specially engineered aluminum alloy bar, with a super-light alloy frame and impact-absorbing foam interior. Handmade in Fly's Essex, UK headquarters with a 4-6 week lead time on most orders. The alloy bar is the differentiator — Fly has engineered it to be significantly lighter than traditional bar systems while maintaining the field of vision and protection that nose-bar users demand. For UK fighters and serious sparring partners willing to pay premium pricing for hand-crafted construction outside the Japanese tradition, this is a real Winning alternative.

  • Buyers needing fast shipping
  • Amateur competition (no sanctioning)
  • Anyone wanting the Winning brand cachet
