			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0051.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1468" title="DSC_0051" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0051-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a> </strong></p>

- American Stand Up &#8211; T&amp;T Fit Tech absorbs shock better than any protective gear on the market</p>
<p><strong>First Impression-</strong> When I pulled this headgear out of the box the construction and overall look was great. Leather felt good, and I liked the color. Could not wait to try it on.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0006.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1467" title="DSC_0006" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0006-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Construction-</strong> Everything about this headgear screams quality. The stitching is done very well, with almost no loose threads. The color of the leather is bright and vibrant. The leather itself is not too stiff and feels nice against my face. Now lets go over the padding placement. The padding in this headgear is excellent. American Stand Up has put padding everywhere that there needs to be some. Plenty of stiff padding around the jaw, and softer but still stiff enough padding around the cheeks. The closure system has Velcro in the back, and a drawstring at the top which should allow for plenty of adjustment. Headgear is manufactured in Pakistan.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0054.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1470" title="DSC_0054" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0054-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Fit-</strong> There are two different sizes and I choose to go with the Large. There is so much adjustability with this headgear that it should be fairly easy to get a size the will work for you. The drawstring works well at the top of the closure. You can either leave it loose and tighten up the Velcro first, or you can just tie it tight and leave it and just use the Velcro to take it on and off. Either way the fit is nice and tight. The leather feels good against my face and did not irritate my forehead like other headgear I have used. The fit around the chin is tight and provides plenty of protection. The padding feels stiff enough so that it will keep you protected, and also absorb plenty of the shock. Whenever I wear headgear one thing I always worry about is will I be able to see okay. I have worn headgear in the past where part of the cheek protection has blocked a some of my vision. That was not the case here. I could see fine and managed to keep almost all of my peripheral vision.</p>
<p><strong>Training-</strong> Now with training in headgear there are both good things and bad things. I get to see how it feels, and how comfortable it is. Well, I also have to let people hit me in the face to see what type of protection it does offer. First the comfort, I would probably some of the most comfortable head gear during training I have worn. It did not shift or move, even when I got hit. The drawstring helps to keep it nice and tight. One thing I will say like most headgear I did get very hot while wearing it. As for protection, it did exactly what it is suppose to do. Most of the shock was absorbed by the headgear, also kept me from getting cuts or bruises. The chin area has lots of padding and it is very stiff. Now that&#8217;s not to say that if you still take a good shot you aren&#8217;t going to sleep, but it definitely cuts down on the impact. My vision was not impaired, and also did a great job at protecting my ears.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0055.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1471" title="DSC_0055" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0055-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Pros-</strong></p>
<p>*Construction</p>
<p>*Fit</p>
<p>*Good Shock Absorption</p>
<p><strong>Cons-</strong></p>
<p>*Hot while wearing</p>
<p>*Testing requires getting hit in the face</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0053.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1469" title="DSC_0053" src="http://mmagearadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_0053-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Overall-</strong> I have used quite a few pairs of headgear in my time and I would say that this rates as one of the better ones out there. With lots of adjustability and comfort it is hard to find faults with it. If you are looking for a new set of headgear go ahead and give this set a look. It retails for Roth around $65.</p>
