    I'll give ya 2!

    Cons

    -You lose some peripheral vision with headgear depending on how thick it is.
    -Headgear can slip and slide and get in your way.

    Pros

    -Absorbs impact.
    -Gives better protection to areas where equilibrium can be effected

    Pro:
    Saves you from cuts

    Con:
    Some people feel overly protected from the headgear and take bigger shots than they should. Refraining from taking any shots is the best.
