this may sound naive but i dont think neckguards make a huge difference, if you get a butt-end in the troat it is gonna hurt weater you have a neckguard on or not, i guess it protects against cuts, but i find the diffrerent neckguards dont give a huge variation in protection, so i just go for the most comfortable

Get a nice, thick terrycloth headband. It's going to be as comfortable as anything you can find and a lot cheaper.

neckguards are there to protect you from cuts. if the pain you got is from soft tissue damage, like a bruise or something, a neckguard won't help. chadd's right, a headband would be better for that

Just to add i got a 2 handed slash straight to my adams apple yesterday....neckguard didnt help

alright thanks for all the help

it was an intentional slash and it hurt like crap

There are several neck guards available with hard plastic inserts in them just like slash guards for your wrists, however they're extremely uncomfortable.

sorry to bring back an old topic.

where can i find a bauer tnp kelvar neckguard, the thin turtle neck type. either an online shop or LHS in toronto would help, thanks in advance.

Something similar is those built in neckguards on those Itech shirts.

I have a base-layer turtle-neck style shirt with some (I think) Kevlar in the neck made by Jock plus, like this. It took a while to get used to, at first it felt like I was being strangled with it on, but now the only time I feel that way is when I am NOT wearing it.

Unfortunately, there is something in the material that makes this shirt reek after one or two wearings. This has never happened with any of the other moisture-wicking garments I've ever worn.

the 10$ nike dri-fit neck guard do an awsome job. since it is dri-fit it drie fast and feel nice on your skin. they are pretty small, actually the smaller i know.

i just purchased a new set of 2 compression shirts to play in, so the shirts with a built in neck guard are not an option. i found them on hockey monkey, but if anyone in toronto knows where to find them, let me know. thanks
