What Headguard Should I Get?

It’s the start of the rugby season soon, and I’ve had my current headguard for about 18 months, I love it, but it really is time for a new one, and I’ve narrowed it down to two contenders:

The Lovely:

Or The Dazzling:

I’m absolutely torn between the two of them, I actually cannot decide, so I’d like to see the general feedback from of you guys, Thanks.

As a second-rower, I’ve always kind of favoured a band of medical-style tape around my head and over my ears. Easier to lose heat that way — which is a major issue in the Ontario summer season. But to each their own.

Hope you look lovely or dazzling in your new gear. Nothing too bright though — it attracts the official’s eyes to things you might not want them to see.
