Pros:

Comfortable, not too tight, but snug
Great leather on outside, suede on the inside
Firm foam
Quality construction
Light, manuverable, not bulky
Looks damn good!

Cons:

Small cheek guards, no chin guard
Relatively open faced
Padding slightly less thick than dedicated muay thai headgear

Overall:

My headgear of choice. I prefer the mobility but don't expect that the cheek guards will protect you or your glass nose from a good straight cross let along a kick or worse, a knee/elbow. Most comfortable headgear I have used, but that's probably due to a lack of bulk.

Quality is obvious. Will buy this gear again, but I've never tried Fairtex or Windy. Read my review on Twins headgear.

Old trainer used to give me looks when I used it

AND don't confuse Everlast's lower end garbage with their higher end stuff.

I have this headgear too, and I like it. Tbh though, I haven't tried a whole lot of different kinds of headgear, so I'm by no means an expert, but this Everlast has been good for me.

You're right about the cheek guards, hehe. I've taken a few good blasts to the nose from straights and crosses, but that just means I have to work on my defense a bit more.

I like this headgear as well because it's the only one out of the many I've used that does not slip around when you are sparring.

I've used mine for boxing only, so the lack of chin/cheek padding didn't have much affect on me. It was mostly psychological in my case
