im switchin to goalie and i am doin scrimmages on saturdays and im on a small budget 1so shud i get the cheap bib thing for 10 bux or shud i just get the nice one and just use it for the entire season?
Alright so by far best throat gaurd. The best thing to do is ditch the screws and just use some shooting strings, lets the throat gaurd move freely and doesnt get caught on your chest protector or anything. And one dude, theres no rules on painting it, i just dont think anyone knows how, if you know how tell us, or better yet put a video on youtube
Say I were to buy a white throat guard, is it acceptable (no against the rules) to paint it much like hockey goalies? I was merely curious, because I have yet to see any lacrosse goalies do this, and I really wanted to try it, but still use it in a game.
i would like to buy it ive searched all over and cant find one used if you havent sold it already i would like to buy it off of you i dont know how to check my pms so just reply through here
this throat guard only works on C2 which is a cascade helmet made like 10 years ago.... btw, marksde, if you go too your neighborhood lax store you can order a throat guard for The RIDELL REVOLUTION
My school's helmets are the old 1995 versions of Cascade helmets (I assume they're the C1s?)
Does this fit c1, since I don't see in my helmet any place that I can drill to fix the throatguard to?
yep, i had a classic that i used during shitty muddy practices last year, and i just drilled a hole in the chin guard on the helmet, and fit it perfectly, and then drilled a hole in the front right under the facemask for the front strap.
it works perfectly fine, in my oppinion, snugger and more streamline than a pro 7 with a throat guart
i bought this because it looked sick as a visor. then when i played with it, they said it was illegal. i was p od cuz i couldnt see at all wen i had the ball. if i even had it. PLEASE DO NOT BUY. the only good thing is it doesnt fog up like some football visors do.
this is a goalie throat guard, not a visor. How the hech did you expect to see through it when it has the cascade logo right in the middle. way to waste 40 bucks.
DUDE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME I WAS TOTALLY PISSED THEY SHOULD REALLY MAKE IT MORE CLEAR THAT THIS IS A THROAT GUARD NOT A VISOR!!
I HAVE TO ADMIT IT LOOKS PRETTY BADASS AS A VISOR THOUGH
OK, I play Golie and middie for my team, and ive got a C-Pro. The foam blocks are not the best for this helmet and I've been thinking about getting one of these. But there are some draw backs. Now, it looks liek it screws in. Is that true? If, so can I easily undo it or put in back on at the half if I only play one half? any other helpful comments? ANYTHING would be helpful. thanks a lot
i have the same problem u hav my friend, i wanna get one of these too and im pretty sure it can come off or else if it cracked or something u would hav to throw the whole helmet away. and by looking @ the clear 1 it looks pretty simple to screw off of ur helmet.
hey i've got one and its great protection and when i got a c-pro, I took my throat gaurd off of my c2 and it was no problem. If you r gonna buy one, have no worries.
ya i play goalie too. but i also play hockey goalie. so heres my advice. my throat guard that i use is a hockey one. you can easliy tie and untie it. it is also usually cheaper than a lax throat guard. so you could probably get one of those at ur local hockey rink for $15 - $30 dollars.good luck in ur season!
i have a stryke helmet that i got from my school and i hjave a similar cascade throat guard on it. i just ghetto rigged it all together and it worked fine
You can get the clear throat guards basically any place they sell these things. Lacrosse unlimited sells clear ones, if you dont mind spendin 5 dollars more.
i have a c2 with this throat guard. im not saying anything against this, it's a good throay guard, even tho a throat guard is a troat guard i guess. but just the other day in practice, a bounce shotcame up right under me, and the ball came right up under the throat guard and lodged itself on the inside of my face mask- true. i guess that could happen no matter what throat guard you have, and its sort of a one in a thousand type situation. so i dunno...
Unfortunately, I keep having the screws coming undone(no matter how tight I screw them to start). One side of the throat protector keeps falling off, sometimes even during a game and often times losing the screws or small metal & plastic spacers on the field. They need to develop it with some kind of lockwasher or find some way of keeping the screws from falling out from play.
Go to the auto parts store and get some stuff called locktite. You put it on the threads of the screw and it glues the screw to the nut. Only use a little, tho, it's stroooooong stuff (more than a drop and you may never get the guard off again).
They really don't protect any better than the old throat gaurds, I even had a friend who had the edge of this throat gaurd slam into his neck, once. Albeit it's rare, the thing really hurt him, Sporthelmets only made it so that they can charge you and extra ten bucks. It only is really for the image, I own a C2, but I only use the old throat gaurds.
really man, y would u want to wear this for any position? ud think it would kinda weigh you down, huh? if i were you, i would be more worried about taking checks the the body, hands, and stick then havin a ball or stick catch you across the throat
one more thing i'm a golie/defender (i play both) and this makes it very easy to see ground balls in the crease witch is a must i recomend this very highly
