Partner-shmartner! It's the jack asses on the other side of the fence you need to watch for! Lol

Did someone say something about zip-ties? I was out back rummaging for small caliber chain and a Master lock...

When they say "brown" they really mean it, don't they?

Yep lol. I prefer tan but I've realized that my safety comes first at this point. I'm not messing around with pads because I like the way they look. I have taken one good shot and didn't feel it at all so that's what matters.

@Umpire in Chief or other admins, can we get this thread pinned at the top so that it doesn't eventually get lost in the other threads?

@umpstuProof of life + backup mask. I really like the Zett throat guard.

[BT_Blue]

I think I like it on the silver frame better.

I like both. The seasons over now so it's not getting use as is. The only thing I don't like about the Belgards is a visor won't fit.

I like the tan doeskin all star mag pads (really like the idea of the blast plate) that you have. I've got tan TW's but leather is nice. I will have to see what Santa thinks...

They're nice but kind of bulky. The protection is worth it in my opinion. I wouldn't suggest them on your Nike though because I feel like the top pad is too small for such a light mask. That's why I stick to steel.

🧐

That’s the gunmetal Adidas Icon (thus, in thin Hollow Steel) on the… left? And the Unbranded Nike Icon Titanium… on the right? 

🧐 🤔 🤨 

They’re the same g**d@mned planform!!!

I went to the cobalt skully to help distribute the impacts. Not a lot of headshots so far, but it's not not working. TW pads fwiw. I've mainly noticed headshots in the jaw area. I figure the skully fives me a blast plate of sorts up top, and the mag pads would match that at the jaw. What do you think? I'm a bit in trial and error mode. In the adult league I have the potential to see 90s, but haven't yet. 80s for sure.
