Does anyone wear a throat protector on your neck? Or just the clear hanging throat protector on your mask?

For goalies?...I just use the clear hanging throat protector..Is it needed to wear both?Does anyone wear a throat protector on your neck? Or just the clear hanging throat protector on your mask?
Go with the hanging protector. I read somewhere that the cotton/kevlar protetctor doesn't give you 100% protection (kind of like Jude's dad's condom....HI-OH!!!) but it is in the high 90s. It has something to do with funny angles. The hanging protector'll give you 100% protection and eliminates the angles. The only thing that I would be concerned about it is if you buy a faulty one, it breaks on impact.Does anyone wear a throat protector on your neck?

I used both at one point and nothing ever happened so i stuck with just the clear protector, works good!
when i do play goal i use the clear hangin one. but sum times i forget it and just go with a str8 goal mask
I don't wear either but every once in a while you get a bomb off the collar bone which hurts for like a day but its not bad. I think the increased freedom in mobility is worth the occasional pain. But if i had to pick one i would definitely use the hanging throat protector
I made my own way back when with a coping saw, my sisters hair dryer, and a scrap piece if 1/8'; plexiglass.
My son wears a throat protector on his neck! It has came in handy at time of the puck being raised! I know alot of the goalies wear them here in our big hockey small town! There is a few goalies that I have notice them wearing the clearing protector that is attached to their goalie helmet! I think that is a good idea to wear the throat protector even if you do not wear the hanging throat protector!
I only use the clear hanging guard. I felt uncomfortable when I tried the throat protector.
clear throat one. the other one irritates my neck and feels weird when i move my head . .
