Bitememouthguards for MMA, Hybrid or Mega?

Was curious which one would be ideal for grappling and kickboxing classes with an occasional MMA fight here and there? Could you get away with the Hybrid or should i go with the Mega, and how close are the two in size comparison? If the Mega is NOT much bigger than i would just go with the Mega! What's the turnaround time on a mouthguard from biteme as well?

Thanks guys, i know alot of discussion has been brought up lately about mouthguards and YES ive searched but havent really been able to answer my own questions.

I believe the hybrid will do however if you expect to take lots of headshots on a regular basis in sparring go with the mega. I think generally the turnaround for their mouthguards is about a month, all depends on how fast you send back the mould.

How big are you? More appropriately, how big are the people that will be punching you in the teeth? In this question lies your answer.

Hmmmm... I'd go with the Hybrega, then.

Actually, you're probably ok w/ a hybrid. I've heard people recommend Megas for HW's and maybe LHW's. Just don't fight Phenom w/ it.

Hey guys ,

Joe from Bite Me. Sounds like everyone knows whats up with the guards, your all right. If your a welter weight a Hybrid will work fine and a heavy weight go with the Mega. The thickness of the guards is about the same only difference is about 1/2mm thats it. Light weights can go with whatever guard they want . We have designed the above guards with different weights in mind. Any questions please call me at 949-933-9994
