WHY DID YOU DEVELOP THE TUFF CHIN CHIN CUP?

We knew there was a glaring need for a better performing and fitting chin cup. Existing standard chin cups are poorly designed, use cheap materials, deficient in performance, uncomfortable, have health concerns, and offer less protection and overall safety. The standard chin cup has not changed in decades.

Tuff Chin offers high performance, custom fit, absolute comfort, breathability, washability, better health, safety, and protection. It works with any wrestling headgear and straps. To top it all off, it looks and feels cooler adding to your mat style!

Affirmation of Tuff Chin’s innovative, unique design and functionality is that it has received a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

CAN IT BE CLEANED OR WASHED?

Yes Tuff Chin® is washable. You simply detach the soft inner liner to wash. You can also wash the exterior shell while it is attached to the straps, or take it off the straps, clean, and reattach. When we designed it, one of the desired features was to make it washable. This allows you to keep it clean from sweat build-up, bacteria, and avoid contracting contagious skin infections, rashes, ailments, allergies, etc.

DOES TUFF CHIN PREVENT SKIN INFECTIONS AND RASHES?

Tuff Chin® was designed with performance, comfort, health and safety in mind. The breathable design expels heat, sweat, and bacteria. There is no pooling of sweat in your chin cup that causes bacteria build-up. Also, Tuff Chin is detachable and washable, so you can clean the soft liner or the entire chin cup after every match. Since there is better hygiene with Tuff Chin than standard chin cups, it can help prevent things like rashes, skin infections, ringworm and other ailments associated with wrestling.

DOES IT COME IN COLORS?

Currently we only off combinations of white and black exterior shells and liners. However, offering Tuff Chin in a variety of colors is in the plans, both external shells and internal liners. This way you can mix and match colors to match your team colors, individual colors, for special events, or your own individual mat style!

DO YOU OFFER CUSTOM COLOR ORDERS FOR TEAMS OR CLUBS?

Currently we only have black and white combinations in stock for everyday purchase. However, please submit a Custom Team Gear Order request, and we will contact you to discuss the school or team colors you wish to use and provide you with a quote.

CAN ADDITIONAL EXTERNAL SHELLS OR LINERS BE PURCHASED?

Yes the Tuff Chin exterior shell and liner are available for purchase individually. This allows you to alternate colors, have a backup for existing chin cup, or as a replacement for lost or damaged shells or liners. Visit our shopping page to see the packages available.

IS THERE A WARRANTY?

There is a one year limited warranty. If either the external shell or interior liner become damaged from normal use, we will replace them. Send us a picture of your damaged chin cup, along with a receipt or proof of purchase date, and we will examine them to determine the warranty status or the damage in question.
