Hit me. I dare you!
The Heavy

The Pugilist's Protector is a headwear item for the Heavy. It appears to be a team-colored padded helmet with Mann Co. stamped on the front and a team-colored plastic mouth-guard, similar to those worn by professional and amateur boxers to absorb and deflect blows to the face and mouth.

Trivia

The term 'pugilist' is synonymous with 'fist-fighter' and is likely a reference to the Heavy's prefered melee weapons of choice: the Killing Gloves of Boxing and, naturally, his own Fists, or to his resemblence to Russian boxing heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev.
