That's my gear except the dangler in the photo got cracked and I use a clear one now...Even though I would prefer to use nothing. Skates are RBK 5k, SWD 9950 Thibault sticks, the same old chest, and Itech 4.8 pants
Nice pads FS. Is that an Itech 960 mask?
Do you have any sight problems with your black dangler?
Thanks. No, it's an NV7, it's an OK mask but I've had to replace the cage twice from shots hitting it. I'll probably be looking to get a newer, better mask in the spring.
I don't have the dangler anymore because it cracked at the beginning of last season, but it didn't really make a difference in vision. You don't actually see your neck guard unless you are standing up and looking as straight down as you possibly can.
I'm using the same dangler I think. Except mine's the mirrored one, I can't tell if yours is or not. The only time I run into issues with it is when the puck is shot at my chest or sometimes on a scramble near the toes of my pads, I'll lose sight of it for about half a second. I adjusted to it pretty well, but I'm debating about switching to a clear one.
