Best Overall: TITLE Boxing Body Protector

Buy on Amazon

We are personally inclined towards title boxing body protector, it is not so pricy, but it overachieves its purpose and outstanding in important aspects. The inside fabric liner doesn't promote sweating, but any sweat that results dries quickly. It's super durable and depending on your partners punching power, pretty comfy and easier to put on or take off. The threads used are color coordinated which makes the product aesthetically pleasing.

There is more than one layer of padding which protects and absorbs various punches and kicks. The stitching work is top notch, no loose threads could be found. It does feel a bit bulky. It will last a very long time.
