Chest & Belly Guards

Description

Chest and belly guards are protective gear worn by athletes in combat sports and martial arts to protect the chest and belly from impact during sparring and competition. They are typically made of durable materials such as leather, synthetic leather, or foam, and contain multiple layers of padding to absorb impact and prevent injury.

Chest and belly guards may have adjustable straps or closures to ensure a secure and comfortable fit, and may be available in different sizes to fit different body types. They come in a range of colors and designs, and may have additional features such as ventilation or moisture-wicking properties to help keep the athlete cool and dry during competition.

Chest and belly guards typically cover the chest, stomach, and ribcage, providing protection to vital organs and preventing injury from punches, kicks, and other forms of contact. They may also have additional padding around the sides and back, as well as the shoulders, to provide additional protection and prevent injury.

Choosing the right chest and belly guard is important to ensure proper protection and performance during competition. It’s important to choose a guard that fits well and provides adequate coverage and padding, without being too heavy or restrictive. Some combat sports and martial arts may also have specific requirements for guard design and materials, so it’s important to check with your coach or the event organizer for any regulations.
