BadAngle41 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 For those of you who are like me... Wear a short chin mask Hate wearing a dangler Tired of getting a bruised clavicle Read on... In a nutshell, in spite of wearing a neck guard, I've taken some good shots to the neck and clavicle over the years. This past year in particular I had two redirections that caught me by surprise (mind you I stopped them) and left some nice welts. After looking in the mirror at what kind of looked like the state of New Jersey near my throat I realized 2 things: My Premier Pro C/A was ill fitting, not as mobile as I'd like, and needed to be replaced. Time to invest in a neck guard. I reached out to @Chenner29 letting him know I was interested in demoing a unit. He sent it out and I wore it a handful of times in some year end tournaments. It felt and performed great, so I ordered one. The results is this... Should help me stay classy with the new C/A unit as well... also with Maltese...

coopaloop1234 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 So did you never wear any neck/clavicle protection before this? I've been wearing a vaughn neck/clavicle since forever and I could not imagine not having it. It's probably saved my ass quite a few times.

I've always wore a neck guard. Had a few year old Vaughn VPC 1000 (I think that's the model) on at the time of the incident pictured. Just got caught by a heavy shot that was tipped at the last second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Classy @BadAngle41 I stepped up my neck/clavicle game with a double-thick pad for my neck guard after getting a shot similar to yours last year. And I WAS wearing a dangler! But that was when I was still a proud member of the CWD club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 You might have the most custom C&A and neck guard combo on earth I just wish the C&A looked like a suit jacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that’s an idea worth exploring for the new guy looking for C/A design help. Could actually be made pretty easily as well I think. Black arms and floaters, white chest and belly. Maybe get fancy embellishments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPv6Freely Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Absolutely love my Maltese GPS collars. I have one standard, and one reiter spec. I know people complain about the price but I think it's absolutely worth it. I've been hit by a few deflections so far and while you definitely feel it and it still sucks, I'm sure I was saved from injury both times.
