Frequently Asked Questions

What additional protection does the nose bar provide?

The nose protection bar adds a padded crossbar that shields the bridge and dorsum of the nose from direct punches. This is particularly useful for fighters with a history of nose injuries or anyone doing hard sparring at boxing intensity. The bar also reduces the chance of an accidental thumb to the nose during inside fighting.

What is the difference between the A4 (cheek protector) and A5 (nose protection bar)?

The APEX A4 features padded cheek guards for side-impact protection with an open face. The APEX A5 replaces the lower cheek portion with a nose protection bar that extends across the face. The A5 gives more direct nose protection; the A4 gives better peripheral visibility. Both models use the same APEX foam system and LumeX padding.

How do I choose the right size?

The head guard is available in S, M, L and XL, and the suede leather inner and Quick EZ Hook-and-Loop closure allow a snug fit across different head sizes. RDX recommends the Small and Medium sizes for kids, so adult buyers should generally look to Large or XL.

Is this approved for competition?

The APEX A5 is approved by the Federazione Italiana Grappling Mixed Martial Arts (FIGMMA) and carries EMMAA approval. Always confirm the head guard requirements with your own sanctioning body before competing, as rules vary between federations.

Is this suitable for MMA and boxing sparring?

Yes — RDX designs the APEX A5 for MMA and boxing training. The LumeX padding and the Max-shock Equilibrium foam and SpongeX combination absorb strikes while the moulded shape keeps an optimal field of vision. The nose bar's coverage makes it especially practical for open-guard fighters and beginners who are developing their defensive head movement.
