If you've read Wamrage's Smartguards review thread, then you know the story behind how I came to choose Smartguards and the whole ordering process, so I'll focus on the guards themselves in this thread.
Now, this is going to be an ongoing review throughout my whole experiences with these mouthguards, and as I got them only a few days ago this initial post will be about my first impressions. I will update the thread accordingly as I use them more.
Right off the bat, I was impressed with the way the guards looked. They are sleek and very professional looking. The colors are vibrant and solid, and the design I chose based on the flag of the Philippines turned out even better than I'd hoped.
Like I said in the other thread, the fit is just f'ing amazing. If you've used boil-n-bite all your life and try a custom fit guard for the first time, you'll know what I mean. The comfort level is phenomenal. They fit so nice and tight that I had to use both hands to yank them out. Far cry from my old b-n-b mouthpiece that fell out of my mouth if I opened it slightly.
Pics with the guard in mouth will follow after I get the bottom impressions on. Thanks to Daren/Smarguards for filling me on the proper way to do that, and huge thanks and major props to him for helping me out through the whole process of getting these awesome guards.
