TheGoalNet Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Anyone seen one of these up close or have experience with them? I think @cwarnar or @Punisher Goalie showed me their stuff a few months ago? https://www.aegisimpact.com/technology/interceptor-g/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DALV1 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I wear the player version as I do not like any additional clavicle padding. I previously just cut off the clavicle padding from CCM neck guards. I’ll continue with Aegis, super comfortable and although I have not taken a direct shot the D30 seems like it would be better than “off the rack” collars. Easy to clean as well,remove D30 and wash, I just wipe the padding off with damp towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Seems way too small to actually offer enough protection. But so do the Bauer and Vaughn units most people buy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayen Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I want something small and light and this fits the bill. At a private practice last night the other goalie wore one, despite being an XL and him not being an overly big guy it was really tight around the neck he said.

Scott Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 This place is 30 mins from where I live...I’m really interested. Do they offer demo units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DALV1 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I wear an XL and have a 17 in neck,it fits well,not too tight and plenty of Velcro to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don't have one... It was on my shopping list for neck protection... But I haven't decided one yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 @DALV1 - the concern I have is that although it’s D30, it’s doesn’t fill the spandex sleeve fully and that that it slide around or there could be a beffier D30 insert in there Can you take some close ups of how it looks with the D30 piece in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DALV1 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Well....it was in there in those two pictures!!! So,maybe not thick enough for you. It hasn’t ever moved on me,in fact the reason I like so much is that it doesn’t spin around like my CCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULTIMA Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I saw this unit up close. Personally I wasn't all that impressed with them. It's not the worst on the list of available BNQ neck guards. It's much different than what I'm used to and seems flimsy in comparison. Although I have heard of people who did get one are are happy with their purchase. So, to each their own.

I have a Maltese unit that I swap in and out but lately I’ve been going with the adjustable built-in neck/clavicle protector in the SZ3 C/A.

DALV1 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I believe I paid less than $30.00 for it at Pure Hockey,it is NOT in the same league as a Maltese or Paw or any of the bespoke manufacturers. What it is for me is “ something” that gives me a level of confidence I don’t have without anything.I wear it more for skates,sticks or the occasional re-directed shot. It’s thin,comfy and easy to care for. I like it for exactly what it is,if you need or want more protection it’s probably not THE best choice. Quality is very good for the money. And for the price if it becomes horrible or completely lacks protection then I’m out $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I currently use the Aegis neck guard and added a Bauer 37.5 sweat band in between the 3DO pice and my neck to make it more comfortable for me. I took a shot in warm ups to my clavicle area and had a slight bruise. For what it’s worth, I took a similar shot to the same clavicle area years ago with my Battram neck guard and had a worse bruise. In the Battram neck guard, the clavicle area only has foam, while the Aegis has a thin 3DO layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 @Aggie - so better than the Battram then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Is this primarily to protect against skate cuts? It doesn't look like it would protect against a shot to the neck. I stress look as I have never held one in hand and it could very well be more protective than it looks to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think somewhere in the middle. BNQ certification means that it is approved to protect against cuts and puts no regard into impact protection. Adding the D30 would be to aid in impact protection. D30 is an engineered material that is designed to absorb a lot of force with minimal material. It is used in Hockey by CCM, in motor cross, skiing, etc etc. I would agree that this piece does not look sufficient enough vs what could be possible with some minor design improvements.

SaveByRichter35 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have never felt D30 before, just know its used in a lot of CCM gear so figured with the addition of D30 the collar might amount to more than it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Here's some visuals I think it's a real technology. I don't think a Maltese size insert would have hurt Aegis here though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned by others, it’s light, comfortable, and can be washed (after removing D3O inserts). I think it would be even better if the bib area had a larger surface area.

I wonder how many guys are still wearing one. I have to wear one because I’m in minor hockey, but I just use a d&r bulletproof neck/clavicle protector and haven’t switched because the neck portion is way shorter and less hot than the newer models from Bauer, Vaughn etc...I doubt that my d&r unit would stack up to newer certification tests, but it’s got the bnq logo and that’s all they care about?

Snowman30 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I have one and have been using it all season. One the best fitting, my comfortable neck guards I have used and I have used many( Itech, Bauer, Vaughn, Brian's,Crouch,and Maltese). I wear mainly for the cut resistants, but also the padding. My Brown comes up high enough I really don't have to worry too much about clavicle protection, it's just my neck area I wanted it for. The thing is in 25 years for playing hockey( Minor,Jr A&B, SR. A and mens) I can count on both hands how many times I have been hit in the neck so those that are asking about the padding how the hell are you getting hit in the neck so much ? I don't even wear a dangler, never have. The price in Canadian funds was $75 which is a great price, for the life of me I can not understand spending $200+ CND on a Maltese, that is just crazy especially after having one before and it lasting only one season before the seems came apart, also found the heat build up within the gel terrible it didn't have any air flow. I like the feeling of having shirt style collar on with the protection it offers, it's there when I need it. This passed summer I checked out Brown's, Brian's , Vaughn, Bauer, and Crouch ( Firefighter Invented so I wanted to support the company). I was going to settle on the Bauer shirt style one and buy some padding from Shocktec and add it the shirt but I seen this and figured I would give it shot.

This is what I did with the Vaughn version and some 3/8" Shocktec air2gel and it worked out really well, only cost me about $40 total too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff da goalie Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I have one. I like it. I haven't taken any shots to the neck, but I've simulated shots (that is, punching myself in the neck while wearing it) and it does absorb the force pretty well. I also have a Maltese. The benefit of the Aegis is the size and comfort. It will definitely be my summer neck protection. The maltese is beefier. I don't know that that means it's more protective. Thankfully, it's usually my mask they hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
