Gear

 

 

 

 

 

    This is a wrestling singlet.  This is basically a wrestlers uniform. Wrestling singlet is made out nylon. Most wrestlers choose their singlet by their looks. Also the singlet of your school team is normally your school colors. It also has the name of your school name on it. The singlet also protects a wrestler’s skin from certain skin diseases from the mat.
 

     These are wrestling shoes. Unlike normal shoes you cannot wear them outside. These shoes are made specifically for the mat. The shoes are thin and very light and are met to be comfortable. Some shoes have cool colors and designs on them and that gets people to buy them. Also some famous wrestlers create their mown shoe design and sell them a lot like basketball players do
 

   These are wrestling kneepads. These are for wrestlers so that they do not have direct contact with the mat. The kneepads also protect from mat burn which is a little like a brush burn but worse. The kneepad like everything else in wrestling comes in different styles. They have small, thin, and big padded ones. These kneepads are optional for all wrestlers.

 

 

   These are pictures of headgear. Headgears are a protection device for wrestler’s ears. The headgear really protects the ears from getting cauliflower ear. This is when the ear swells up to it is almost shut. The headgear is also designed for looks but it has to be safe, comfortable, and reliable.  These headgears are mandatory for most tournaments and matches. I would recommend wearing on of these if you ever would wrestle.

 

 

    This is a picture of a scale.  I know everybody has one of these or has used on at some point in their life. In wrestling though this is very important have. The scale is very important because always watch what they eat or they are cutting weight.  Wrestlers eat certain foods to maintain a certain body weight. Before a match or a tournament wrestlers have to weigh into see if they made weight. A wrestler can not be over, not even a tenth of a pound. The wrestlers are usually weighed in pounds.  

 

 

    These are pictures of sweatshirts and sweatpants.  These also are very important to a wrestler. These can be used as warm-up to get you ready for a match or a tournament. Also like I said before wrestlers are always losing weight so the sweatshirts and sweatpants can be used in practice to cut weight.
