RDX T15 Black CE Headguard with Cheek Protection
The RDX T15 Noir head guard with cheek protection was developed for controlled boxing, MMA, kickboxing, and Muay Thai training. Its combination of EVA-LUTION foam, padded cheek elements, and DenZo-Tron SHEET ear covers is designed to dampen incoming impact and provide additional coverage to sensitive areas on the side of the head.
The outer material consists of durable Maya Hide ConvEX Skin™ synthetic leather. A triple Quick-EZ™ hook-and-loop closure system and an adjustable chin strap allow for a personalized fit to the shape of the head. The inner velvet lining absorbs moisture and promotes a more comfortable feel during training.

EVA-LUTION foam for shock absorption
The RDX T15 Noir head guard is padded with EVA-LUTION foam. The padding construction is intended to absorb the force generated by strikes and distribute it over a larger surface area.
As a result, certain stresses as well as the risk of superficial injuries such as abrasions or lacerations can be reduced. However, the actual effectiveness depends on strike force, impact angle, fit, training intensity, and the condition of the head guard.
Integrated cheek protection
The padded cheek elements cover the side areas of the face without fully enclosing it. They can reduce direct contact to the cheeks while simultaneously supporting the widest possible field of view.
By design, the nose, mouth, chin, and central parts of the face remain partially exposed. The cheek protection is therefore not equivalent to full-face protection or a head guard with a protective bar.
DenZo-Tron SHEET ear covers
The lateral ear areas feature DenZo-Tron SHEET padding. It is designed to provide additional coverage to the ears and adjacent head areas against lateral strikes.
Even padded ear covers cannot completely prevent ear, eardrum, or head injuries. Hard, uncontrolled strikes to the ears and back of the head must be avoided during training.
Triple Quick-EZ™ closure system
The triple Quick-EZ™ hook-and-loop closure system allows for adjustment at the back and top of the head. An additional chin strap supports fixation under the chin.
The head guard must sit snugly and securely without causing pressure pain or excessively restricting vision, breathing, hearing, or freedom of movement. It should not shift significantly during fast head movements or light contact.
Moisture-wicking velvet lining
The inner lining consists of a soft, moisture-absorbing velvet material. It is designed to absorb sweat and promote a more comfortable feel.
According to the manufacturer, the material possesses antibacterial properties that can counteract rapid odor development. However, these properties do not make the head guard germ-free or self-cleaning and do not replace regular cleaning and complete drying.
Suitable for controlled martial arts training
- Boxing training and controlled boxing sparring
- MMA training
- Kickboxing
- Muay Thai

Whether the head guard may be used for a specific form of training or a competition depends on the requirements of the trainer, the martial arts school, and the respective association or event organizer.

Selecting the right size
Measure your head circumference according to the current RDX size chart. The head guard must fit evenly and close to the body. It should not slip significantly or press uncomfortably on the temples, ears, cheeks, or chin.
After putting it on, check your field of vision, breathing, hearing, and freedom of movement. If you are between two sizes or are unsure about the fit, the selection should be discussed with a qualified trainer.
Care instructions
- Wipe the inside and outside with a soft, slightly damp cloth after each use.
- Use only a mild, material-compatible cleaning agent if necessary.
- Open the hook-and-loop fasteners and let the head guard dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
- Do not store damp in a closed sports bag.
- Do not submerge in water and do not clean in the washing machine.
- Do not use aggressive disinfectants, bleach, or solvents.
- Do not dry on radiators or in strong direct sunlight.
- Remove or insert removable components only according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Important safety and usage notice
A martial arts head guard can reduce certain stresses and superficial injury risks, but it cannot reliably prevent concussions, brain injuries, or skull, facial, eye, nose, jaw, or ear injuries.
Wearing the head guard must never be seen as a reason to train harder or more uncontrollably. Training intensity, technique, and contact must be adapted to the experience level of the participants and monitored by a qualified trainer.
The head guard does not replace a suitable mouthguard or other protective equipment required for the type of training. Strikes to the back of the head, neck, throat, and other forbidden target areas must be avoided.
In the event of headaches, dizziness, nausea, visual disturbances, memory lapses, balance issues, or other symptoms, training must be stopped immediately and medical advice sought.
Before every use, check the outer material, padding, seams, ear covers, hook-and-loop fasteners, and chin strap. A damaged, severely deformed, hardened, or insecurely fitting head guard must no longer be used.
The CE mark is not a guarantee of injury-free training and does not automatically mean that the model is approved for every competition association. Approval must be checked based on the applicable rules.
Normal training-related wear and tear and a gradual compression of the padding do not automatically constitute a material defect. A separate durability warranty is not provided. Legal warranty rights for actually defective goods remain unaffected.
According to the manufacturer, the RDX T15 Noir head guard is CE-certified by SATRA Technology. The CE marking is not a guarantee of injury-free training and does not automatically mean that the model is approved for competitions by every association. Before competitions, the applicable equipment rules must be checked.

Frequently asked questions about the RDX T15 Noir head guard
Which martial arts is the RDX T15 Noir head guard suitable for?
The head guard is suitable for controlled training in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, Krav Maga, and similar contact sports. The specific use must comply with the requirements of the trainer or the martial arts school.
Is the RDX T15 Noir head guard CE-certified?
RDX designates the model as CE-certified by SATRA Technology. The CE mark is not a guarantee of injury-free training and no automatic competition approval by any specific association.
Is the head guard made of real leather?
No. The outer material, which RDX calls Maya Hide ConvEX Skin Combat Leather, is classified as resilient PU synthetic leather. Therefore, the head guard is not offered as a genuine leather product.
Which areas does the cheek protection cover?
The padded cheek elements cover the side areas of the face. The nose, mouth, chin, and central facial parts remain partially exposed. The model therefore does not offer full-face protection.
Does the head guard protect against concussions?
No. A head guard can reduce certain stresses and superficial injury risks, but it cannot reliably prevent concussions or other brain injuries.
Does the head guard replace a mouthguard?
No. The RDX T15 Noir does not replace a mouthguard. Depending on the type of training and rules, a suitable mouthguard and other protective gear must be worn in addition.
What is the function of the DenZo-Tron ear covers?
The padded ear areas are designed to dampen lateral impact to the ears and adjacent head areas. They cannot completely prevent ear or head injuries.
How do I find the right size?
Measure your head circumference and compare it with the current RDX size chart. The head guard should fit snugly without causing pressure points or restricting vision, breathing, hearing, or mobility.
Does the antibacterial lining prevent odors?
The antibacterial material properties described by the manufacturer can counteract odor-causing bacterial growth. However, they do not completely prevent odors or germs and do not replace regular cleaning.
