What is a "throat guard"?
A throat guard is a protective piece of equipment worn around the neck to shield the throat from injury. It is commonly used in sports like ice hockey, lacrosse, and martial arts, where players are at risk of strikes or collisions to the neck area. The throat guard is typically made from materials like plastic or foam and is designed to absorb impacts, preventing damage to the throat and windpipe. It is often attached to a face mask or helmet for added safety during play.
