I recently tried on a Nike HSM. My chin support was uncomfortable and my NECK "stuck out" from underneath both sides of the helmet. Those HSM were designed for big alien heads with thin little chins.

Logic dictates that there are many reasons why an Eagle Lexan Throat Guard Clear Hockey Goalie Neck Bib or a NEW RBK REEBOK HOCKEY GOALIE NECK/THROAT GUARD exist in the first place.

I would prefer you wear the NEW all-black Larosse helmet made by Cascade and others in place of a HSM. It looks more favovable to a baseball batting helmet with a high-end titanium face mask. The "dangling" throat guard remains optional.
