⚡ At a Glance
- • Wearing Comfort: Customisable boil-and-bite fit with integrated breathing channels for easier airflow
- • Best for: Junior athletes aged around 9-12 playing contact and team sports

Patented FLUID FIT Technology combines with boil-and-bite moulding for a personalised fit. The gum shield is thicker than standard guards and includes breathing channels for comfort.
Secure Fit During Play – thanks to FLUID FIT Technology
FLUID FIT Technology uses elastic, tensioned material that adapts when moulded by heat and pressure, locking around tooth shapes. Boil-and-bite moulding allows repeated re-heating and re-moulding until the alignment is right.
A secure, tailored fit reduces movement during tackles and impacts, keeping the mouthguard in place. Less fiddling means better focus and safer play.
Easier Breathing and Communication – with integrated breathing channels
Built-in channels allow airflow through the guard while maintaining coverage, so inhalation and exhalation remain less restricted during exertion. Channel geometry is shallow enough to balance protection and ventilation.
Breathing remains comfortable during matches and training, which helps endurance and reduces panic when contact occurs. Clearer communication with team-mates is possible without removing the guard.
Durable, Safe Construction – thanks to non-toxic, elastic materials
Materials are described as non-toxic and non-carcinogenic, with superior elasticity and increased thickness compared with ordinary guards. The construction tolerates multiple re-mould cycles without degrading shape.
Long-lasting protection that stands up to repeated use and remoulding makes the guard practical for growing children. Safe, tasteless materials minimise irritation and help maintain hygiene.
