Cliff Keen E58 Headgear

The headgear was eagerly awaited, my stepson is a freshman and had his first “official” wrestling meet. He had summer camps and we ordered a cheaper version before, just to make sure he enjoyed wrestling. Well, the gear came and the vinyl cover was stuck so badly and made the ear covers basically melt together and he had to tear them apart and they ripped. But, the tournament was the next day, so he had to use them. He felt badly and didn’t let on how badly they tore, even though I saw it happen I thought the vinyl left would stay put. But it didn’t and when I saw them at the next meet, 30 days had past. Money is tight and it seems like he needs something that is at least $50 every time we turn around. He’s a great kid, he deserves everything, it is just a bummer that I have to order another pair and the quality is probably just as bad. He feels badly, but he does so well in school, in sports, in life. I want to encourage all he does, so I’ll buy them again and teach him that he deserves quality and it’s ok to return something that should’ve lasted longer…teens buy this gear, please try to do better. I know very little about wrestling but bought based upon a name that was passed on to me. The cheap pair, lasted so much longer and that’s not saying much
