i say head gear because tha is what i mean. my nephew has a very good
mask that he likes and fits him well. (he also knows very well rule #1,
never take it off).
but it does not cover the back of his head or the top. today he got his
melon thumped pretty good. a shot right itn the back of his head where
there was no plastic mask. no matterhow much he tried not to, the tears
came anyway. i want to find the little guy a good qaulity mask that
covers his whole head. something that's comfortabe  and fits a little
guy well.

some of you guys have kids that play, what types of headgear/masks do
they wear? (consumer report?) }8-)



JT makes a hard full-head mask, and I think Extreme Rage (PMI) recently came out with one. I had the JT one a while back (mask was cheaper than a new lens) and it's fairly comfortable, for a Wal-Mart mask. Thermal lens, too. I had plastic 'dreds' tied onto mine because teammates would keep shooting me by accident. Plus, it got questions. :P

Otherwise, I forgot the company, but do a search for 'turtle caps'. A sports company makes them; they're baseball caps, but padded. If I remember right, the maker got the idea when he got whacked with a paintball at the temple or base of the skull and has headaches since.
