the soft connector can be weaved through the pre-drilled holes in the protector and strung through the openings between the facemask and jaw shield.<\/p><p>The positives are this is less invasive to the helmet and the protector can be easily removed should you want to play outside of the goal.<\/p><p>The negatives are this puts the dangler nickname at the forefront, leaving the protector free to move with a mind of its own. You will likely get some clanking and slapping from the piece to your helmet and neck.<\/p><p>The second option (screws) is a bit more complicated.<\/p><p>To start, you will need to drill a hole through the middle \u201cC\u201d in the word<a href=\"https:\/\/laxdrip.com\/cascade-lacrosse\"> CASCADE<\/a> along the bottom of the chin piece using a 7\/32\u201d drill bit.<\/p><p>Using that same drill bit, you will then drill holes on either side of your helmet but the location varies depending upon the type of helmet you use. The hole will normally be at an angle from the bottom facemask mounting screw on each side.<\/p><p>The connection will require screws, bushings, and T-nuts to properly attach the throat piece to the chin piece. You should consult the accompanying manual (PDF link here) to properly fit your new dangler to your helmet.<\/p><p>Note that this second option provides a more secure hold of the neckpiece to the helmet to avoid any unwanted movement or clanking, but this is a more difficult installation process and takes a bit more work to remove and reapply.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82571b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82571b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Budget Lacrosse Goalie Throat Protector: Cascade TPC2 Throat Protector<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-393e913 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"393e913\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b1d4a26\" data-id=\"b1d4a26\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42b6799 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"42b6799\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Drip Level: <\/b>4.6\/5<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f3c460 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1f3c460\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laxdrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Cascae-TPC2-throat-protector-qppasaitmo48osj594ul67d1i7vppw4dksog7cl0xs.jpg\" title=\"Cascae TPC2 throat protector\" alt=\"Cascae TPC2 throat protector\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51461a1 elementor-button-danger elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"51461a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XxSYFk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-amazon\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">View on Amazon<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59856c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"59856c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The TPC2 is another quality throat protector from <a href=\"https:\/\/laxdrip.com\/cascade-lacrosse\">Cascade<\/a> but is a bit cheaper.

Yeah, I couldn\u2019t either. There\u2019s not enough gold in Fort Knox to put me in goal without a proper lacrosse helmet and throat protection. If you have the moxy to step in goal, you should have the sense to invest in a quality helmet and throat protector (or \u201cdangler\u201d) to guard your money maker and the brains behind it. This guide goes over the best lacrosse goalie helmets and throat protectors on the market so you have one less thing to stress about when in the cage. Table of Contents Best Lacrosse Goalie Helmets In lacrosse, any helmet that is legal for outfield players should be legal for goalies to use so long as they have a throat protector added. This rule (and the helmets that are legal) applies to the goalie helmet in the women\u2019s game as well. This section will cover the top goalie helmets available for men, women, and children. You can find the best throat protection options to accompany your helmet in the section after that. Best lacrosse goalie helmets (click to jump to a section): Best Goalie Helmet for Adults (Men &amp; Women): Cascade XRS #2 Best Goalie Helmet for Adults (Men &amp; Women): Cascade S Budget Goalie Helmet for Adults: Cascade CPX-R Best Youth Goalie Helmet:\u00a0Cascade S Youth Budget Youth Goalie Helmet:\u00a0Cascade CPV-R Best Goalie Helmet for Adults (Men &amp; Women): Cascade XRS Drip Level: 5\/5 Customize on SportStop Cascade released its newest helmet just in time for the 2022 NCAA Tournament Championship Weekend. The XRS is Cascade&#8217;s most protective and comfortable helmet to date and is currently our top-rated lacrosse helmet. It features a tri-liner system to disperse different kinds of impacts while providing a better hit on your head. There is also a Double Jaw Deflection system that provides increased protection as compared to previous models and better ventilation to keep you cool. Aside from the increased protection and comfort, the XRS also improves on the S (Cascade&#8217;s previous model) by providing better visibility for players. The VISION system increases peripheral vision by 20% and the Power-Pressed Vision Bar reduces the size of the top part of the face mask without sacrificing rigidity. Overall, the Cascade XRS is the cream of the crop when it comes to lacrosse helmets. If you are looking for a new helmet, the XRS should be at the top of your list. #2 Best Goalie Helmet for Adults (Men &amp; Women): Cascade S Drip Level: 5\/5 View on SportStop Though the S is no longer Cascade&#8217;s newest helmet, it is still a great option for goalies. Comfort comes in the form of an XFLO ventilation system that increases and recycles airflow around your head. Balance Point Technology and NV3 foam baked into the crown keep the helmet centered even in the most intense of movements and contact. The S is customizable thanks to its HardTail SPRfit design that allows the user to micro-adjust the helmet to ensure the perfect fit. It\u2019s secure with its Supermono S Shell and employment of a tri-liner, SEVEN Technology system that disperses energy in key impact areas to lessen the effect of hard blows, including that shot that may miss your stick. Even with all that tech, the Cascade S preserves clear sightlines with its Visionbar PowerPress Technology making this the perfect all-around helmet for a goalie. Budget Goalie Helmet for Adults &amp; Women: Cascade CPX-R Drip Level: 4.6\/5 View on Lax Monkey View options on Amazon If you\u2019re not looking to break the bank, the Cascade CPX-R is a worthy alternative to the fully loaded S, packing a lot of the same punch for a bit less coin. The R Series Shell is no slouch and works with the familiar SEVEN Technology lining to distribute and lessen the impact of blows. The same SPRfit HardTail from the S gives you the ability to perfectly adjust and customize the fit to securely contour to your dome. The CPX-R is one of the most familiar helmets to see taking the field. Even if it is the \u201ccheaper\u201d option, it spares nothing in terms of Cascade\u2019s usual construction that has made the brand one of the most trusted in the sport. Best Youth Goalie Helmet: Cascade S Youth Drip Level: 5\/5 View on SportStop Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods The Cascade S Youth shrinks all of the same protective and comfort elements of its adult version into the perfect helmet for any youth goalie. It uses the same Supermono S Shell with tri-liner system to soften every blow, XFLO ventilation to keep your head cool, and the HardTail SPRfit and customizable jaw pads for the perfect fit. The S Youth employs the same vision system as well with thinner wiring around the eyes to increase visibility\u2014an invaluable asset when between the pipes. Lacrosse Equipment View New Drops\u00a0on\u00a0Battle\u00a0Lax Budget Youth Goalie Helmet: Cascade CPV-R Drip Level: 4.6\/5 View on Battle Lacrosse View on SportStop The CPV-R is worthy of consideration for any parent who wants their young player protected without having to invest too much into a piece of equipment they will eventually grow out of. The CPV-R employs the same R shell from its older sibling and the same liners to withstand contact. A FreeFlow system keeps the air circulating around the player\u2019s head for maximum coolness and comfort. When it comes to vision, the Chevron Mask provides increased downward clarity to let no shot go untended. This is a great option for any young goalie and an opportunity to sensibly save money on equipment they likely won\u2019t fit into in a few seasons.
