My personal opinion is that an additional dangling throat guard should be used with every traditional mask, even the ones with the extended frame. I've never gone without one. Each year I've been hit square on the throat guard and have felt it; however, as strong as the hits have been, it's just the force of the hit that I felt. Without the throat guard, I can't even imagine what I would have felt. For me, the guards have meant the difference between simply getting hit and suffering serious injury.
