What is Bayflex?
Bayflex is an elastomeric-polyurethane material with a wide variety of impressive properties, including being water resistant, flexible, and impact resistant. It is used in the automotive industry in such places as the car bumper and dash for extra protection.

What companies use Bayflex in their Headguards?
Only TOP TEN. Bayflex is an expensive and specialized material to work with. Many companies avoid using premium materials to save money producing head guards with cheaper materials. TOP TEN knows the importance of protecting athletes and helping them to sustain long, injury-free careers.

Photo (thumbnail above) Testing of the TOP TEN head guard included using a pendulum in the shape of a fist with a variety of gloves attached. The blows to the headguard were repeated over 100,000 times. More than any other headguard in the world. The legal testing requirement from Amateur International Boxing Association, AIBA, is a minimum of 10,000 blows. Further, tests show that the Top Ten Bayflex head guard can reduce a punch’s impact by 45%. This is extremely important in all combat sports to protect the fighter from potential Head and Brain injuries. Furthermore, the head guard offers no points of application for additional rotational acceleration (a frequent cause of cerebral hemorrhage).

All our IMF Bayflex headgear come with a 2-year warranty.

Our competition team advises under heavy and frequent use the Velcro straps should be replaced yearly.
