    I had a pair to circumvent the head contact with kids rule. Did I mention I'm quite evil?

    The face shield is extremely robust. You can effectively headbutt the opponent's gloved fist with your face and cause him more pain than he causes you.

    I read that as "no contact with kids rule."

    Sorry, I'm tired and I was reading the Gary Glitter story in another tab :p

    That'll be the thai groin guard you're thinking of then?

    The clear ones like you showed I've cracked them clean in half with punches. I've also had one get knocked upward and slice a student's lip open.

    I prefer these as the plastic is thicker and the opaque bars do a decent job of getting students used to the tunnel vision from adrenaline.

    You... you PUNCH to the face?!

    Oh no. Can't have anyone doing that. It's an awful thing to do!

    What's wrong with a good old roundhouse kick to the face?

    Not a fan of this get up. It creates blind spots for me. Of course if the other guy is wearing it I am all for it. I have seen a clear one on display by the guy who broke it.

    Still I might get one to keep me from getting uglier.

    So you are saying that if you wear one, it is a improvement? :evil::D

    Wear Crocs.

    Nobody will dare eat them.

    Or talk to you.

    Last I checked they were not exactly cost effective. If you can find me a decent price on them I'd order a few to toss into the mix.
