Supporters Shizbazki Posted November 13, 2018 Supporters Posted November 13, 2018 Never been shot in the throat or neck. I do wear a UBACs zipped all the way up and wear a small scrim scarf around my neck so probbaly have but never noticed. I seem to get shot more in the hands than neck.

They do exist in camouflage & others exist in tan etc But I wouldn’t particularly recommend one. I’ve never tried the larger full neck ones, but did once buy the old basic neoprene protector. I put it on my neck and promptly dumped it in the back of the cupboard. I would really recommend just something to put a layer over bare skin, even if it’s just a snood etc But I just do without and haven’t suffered for it
skintrade Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 If you want to wrap your neck get a Buff tube or similar (I love SA Co. brand ones), multi-purpose things so you'll use them off the field too

If we tried to (over) protect all the sensitive bits we'd end up looking like a juggernaut in no time. Same, adams apple and also made me do a sort of half gag too ha, which made me laugh straight after. But I did zip up the ubacs after. Then that was a bit uncomfortable so unzipped it again a while later. Also taken an unbelievable shot to a tiny gap on my forehead between my cap and googles which lumped up a bit and got some blood running down. To me it's part of the fun and I expect it so would rather be comfy than too hot. I do protect teeth though because dentists are a total rip off
koppel Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Just grow a BFO beard, works and is free, which appeals to my inner yorkshireman.
clumpyedge Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I think I lost a few brain cells reading this thread...
heroshark Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Apart from the obvious things that have been mentioned. As a light weight warm weather neck cover I got a large thin tiger stripe (could probably pick up other patterns) bandana and sewed it into a tube. Because it hangs loose it's less stuffy an helps absorb impacts unlike the thin stretchy snood option.
Vulpiness Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 my lower face protection, it's this neoprene shit, actually covers the neck too.

That's actually a nice idea I still have some material left from my ghillie project, may have a go at it
heroshark Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Tar Scara. I have one of the synthetic multi cam scarves I made in to a hood with a bit of neck coverage which works quite well too.

I found it stifling and sweaty for motorcycle use and quickly binned it. He does seem determined to wear some sort of rubbery gimp mask though, and I don't want to judge his lifestyle choices.

It certainly has its uses, but as face protection etc....there's far better options that wont be as "gimpish"
Skara Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Meh, I have an old neoprene mask, used once and then thrown in the bin. Wouldn't use it for motorcycle use as well, I prefer snoods for that. Much more versatile and they keep me ugly face warm even in cold winter mornings

Personalty if you wanna be gimpy, wear a gasmask, personal I though the neo-mask made me look like a latter-day ninja, but maybe that's just my imagination.

More like a winter soldier cosplay wearing those things
