neck-guard
Hockey goalie's armor
A neck-guard is protective equipment worn around the neck, typically in sports or combat.
Hockey goalies wear neck-guards to deflect pucks; fencers wear them under their masks.
Military and historical armor includes neck-guards to protect against blades: The knight's gorget served as a neck-guard beneath his helmet.
