I have 4 masks and this throat guard is on every one. Went for a 3-week stretch, where I got hit on the throat guard 3 times. Who wouldn’t pay $11 to save your life?

Not bulky and doesn't interfere with my vision when I have to remove my mask. I like the size as it's great for me. Always have recommended a throat protector. A valuable piece of equipment.

Easy to put on and well worth the cost. It is absolutely a must-have purchase if you are working the plate. I must admit I worked without one for some time, but recently purchased this when I bought an upgraded mask. My FIRST game with the new mask I took a hard foul tip directly to the throat guard. While it still rocked me, I hate to think what would have happened to my Adam's Apple if I had not been wearing it.
