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.

Pugilist's Protector is so far the only hat that has it's parts inside of a character's mouth. In this case it's teeth protectors.
