Brine Triad Lacrosse Helmet. Sticky Throat Guard

I got an email from my buddy Shawn Brown. He asked me what to do with his Brine Triad Lacrosse helmet. Seems that the throat guard keeps getting stuck on the mask. This happened to me a ton with mine. By the way I LOVE this helmet. For goalies I think is absolutely the best. Because the center bar is so close to your eyes it gives you great visibility. My only complaint is that the mask sits a little bit too close to the chin. If your chin strap is loose and you take a shot in the mask or if you hit someone the mask tends to cut your chin. Can look sexy but it's really a pain in the...chin, I guess.

So here's my answer to Shawn. If anyone else has a problem with their equipment don't hesitate to write and ask.

Answer: Hey there Shawn. Make sure those little black pieces that hold the throat guard are installed in that bottom part of the mask by your jaw. They need to be flush to the plastic so if they're not it won't hang right.

I had the same problem with mine. What I did to fix it was I took some sandpaper and sanded down the inside of the throat guard where it was hitting the center bar on the mask. By reshaping that upper portion it just changed how the throat guard hit the mask. Instead of getting stuck it would just fall back down.

Try that. It should work.
