Perfect for our star player
This was a great buy for the star player in our life. When life safety and head injury are in question, we can never stop looking for additional protection and risk reduction. He also thinks it’s really cool, so that’s also a plus. He plays for 2 teams and I wish I could afford them for each player on his travel team. Buying them one at a time!
