🧢 Markwort C-FLAP Guard Review

My son requested a helmet with a face shield. We didn't want to buy a new helmet and couldn't find anything in stock to fit his old Mizuno, so we went with this one.

Pros: Because you have to attach it to your helmet, there's plenty of room for customization. You can attach the C key at an angle that works best for the player, although there is a guide/template if you just want to follow along. Of course, if you don't want to use a stencil, you…
