MangoRhinehart Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 After almost 12 years with the same maltese collar, it was time to refurb. the outer shell had stretched out and velcro was shot. I bought a fabric cooling towel and my wife sewed up the neck collar and reattached to the clavicle and sternum protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the same one from way back, loved it for ice but too hot for inline. I would love to start using it again as the dangler jams sometimes looking down. Thinking about trying to punch some ventilation holes in the gel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it in the freezer before the game and it kept me cool. I also dunked it in ice between periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
