stackem30 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm seconding the Brown collar. My father was NUTS about protecting my neck when I was younger, and he must've asked every goalie coach and pro-shop owner in the NY/NJ area what the best one was. I've never had any problems with it, though I use it more for clavicle protection (I wear a dangler, too). Granted, this was almost 15 years ago, and we didn't have access to resources like this. Sarah and PAW seem great (and I want businesses like hers to succeed), I've just never tried them. I've never owned a Maltese product, and while I'm sure they make quality stuff, I think their pricing is in-sane. Always seemed like a Law of Diminishing Returns, but to each their own.

cwarnar Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 UPDATE... I went on a tour of a LHS this afternoon... They had the Vaughn XR in stock... plus a Bauer and a crappy offshore Brians. Tried the Vaughn on and I felt like I was getting choked... but then again its been years since I wore neck protection... Do PAW or Maltese feel this way too... @Chenner29 Maltese demo program is a no go for Canada, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I never feel like I am being choked when I wear my Maltese. I don't even remember it is there sometimes. I would suggest getting one but you said not to, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big2 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Dangler plus a neck protector no questions asked - my son has had atleast 3 danglers broken I can't imagine what could have happened was he not wearing one. I also believe that he has taken 1-2 shots that have come close to his neck which he has complained about, wears a CCM unit so cawarmar keep us posted on your decision and give us some feedback. I would pull the trigger on a Maltese but I don't believe its CSA approved and this is an issue with minor hockey in Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate constant banging in my mask and I always hate trying to look down through it to find the puck. I have a decent chin drop on my Stacey mask and am hoping to get a similar one on my Protechsport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a sweat shirt under your chest pad 2. Neck padding - The floating collar is a perfect design, but the CCM version has nothing for impact protection If they update this unit to include D30 in the neck, make it a bib style, and then update the materials... we have a winner! All good and valid points made. Thank you for these. I should also note that I wear a dangler in addition to this CCM neck guard shirt. I have the senior version (the picture I posted earlier), and while it could be better, I haven't had a issue with it so far and I really like it. The lower lip on the neck area is hard that could protect against a shot (not perfect, but it's there). Plus the additional belly piece (attached to the shirt) I really like. In fairness to the design, the Pro Senior model does come up a lot higher and has more protection offered higher in the neck area + in the shoulders as well. Here's a picture of the Pro model neck guard shirt: When I upgrade, I'll be moving on to this version next time as I really like the design. I bought my current version quickly after a slight scare on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only caveat is that they're a web only item, they do not have them on display at their retail stores. I believe this is because of the BNQ cert (just like how it's very difficult/impossible to source cateye cages in Canada because of CSA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thought I would do a quick update on this thread... Still no movement on a neck guard... The new clubhouse leader is Factory Mad... Was bugging Dennis about a CA (Which he still doesn't have time to produce) and we got chatting about neck protection @bunnyman666 is this yours???

I bought my current version quickly after a slight scare on the ice. I've used the pro model (under the Reebok brand) for the last eight years and was very satisfied with its protection. That said, I hacked up the neck area to avoid the turtle neck feeling. Also, I would wear it under my compression shirt to keep it in place. I recently switched to a Maltese (purchased from GoalieMonkey, which is a good way to avoid wait times associated with custom orders), because my Reebok was as beat up as it gets. Unfortunately, I've only worn the Maltese for one skate, so I can't speak much towards protection. But I will say that it will require some adjustment because it has the turtle neck feel and was hotter than what I've been used to. Good luck.

Big2 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Creasecollector - thanks for the information on this CCM unit I will try to find one for my son like the extra collar bone protection + added sternum protection. He already wears a CCM unit similar to all the ones on this thread but it's falling apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Here’s my bespoke PAW... the OG TGN Spec project The neck collar moves with you and has a gel that can absorb a shot in it. The clavicle piece stays in place for extra collar bone protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff da goalie Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I've got both the Aegis and a Maltese. I don't really feel either one. I do think that the Aegis is sufficiently protective with the D30 foam, but for the most part, I've been sticking with the Maltese lately for no rational reason. The Aegis will probably be my summer neck collar, since it's much, much lighter and retains a lot less heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Znowleopard Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Ive been having trouble finding a neck guard for my longer than normal neck, currently i have a ccm one and it doesn't cover much, maltese is a little out of my budget. I have tried kova but they are replying to my emails. So does anyone have any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Goalie Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 @Znowleopard you could cut the collar portion off another guard and sew it two the top of your current one lol I’m only partially kidding... would be easy with a speedy stitcher....
