wrestling headgear

Mat sport helmet

Wrestling headgear is protective equipment worn in amateur wrestling to guard the ears from impact and friction.

The padded cups cover the ears and connect with straps around the chin and back of the head.

Required in scholastic and collegiate wrestling, headgear prevents cauliflower ear—the permanent deformity caused by repeated trauma to ear cartilage.
