I have three masks, one has a throat protector on it. This year I got hit in the throat by a pitch that went under the catcher, hit my shin guard and went straight up and hit me in the throat, UNDER my throat protector. I had a sore throat for two weeks. The only other time I have been hit in the throat was while wearing the same mask, several years ago, before I added the throat protector. That one ricocheted off the catchers glove, hit the top of my chest protector and went up under the mask. I had a sore throat for three weeks.
It's not the mask, all three of my masks are the same brand and style, just different colors. Throat protectors are probably personal preference items. I have never been hit in the throat with the other two masks.
