    Idk i've always used a cage and I feel like once your in the play and focused on the puck or playing defence or whatever you don't even see the cage in front of you. I also block a lot of shots and with a cage I don't have to worry about a puck knocking out my jibs

      That’s what I was about to say. I’ve used a cage for about 12 years since I started hockey and I was thinking about it and I don’t even notice the cage. I used a fishbowl for a few games last year and I had to switch back because it would just fog up and at one point I took a shot to the face and the fishbowl just cracked.

      I play goalie so I have to use the cage, and when I’m playing there’s not really any room to be distracted. But sometimes it does get a little annoying

    I had a fishbowl for years and went back to a cage. The only time I noticed the cage was the first few games inbetween shifts, once I hopped the wall I didn't know it was there. Sweat on the inside of the visor or bowl drives me nuts.

    Recently picked up a fishbowl myself and I'm very pleased with it. I've never understood the fogging issue, as I knew it existed, I went to the first game without any anti fog or conditioner treatment just to see how bad it gets. Well, it really wasn't bad at all, it fogged up twice on the bench when i was bent tying my skates or something, once i jump on the ice the fog goes away in a few seconds, and then on the next change, if I didn't specifically breathe on the upper portion of the visor, it honestly didn't fog up at all. So it's 100% the best choice for me, full protection and visibility, best of both worlds.

  • @holofech9744
    @holofech9744 2 ปีที่แล้ว +128

    2 things not mentioned: the more expensive the cage, the thinner the bars get. It's just as protective, but you get better visibility. There is one other option, the hybrid cage. It's a visor in the top half and a cage in the bottom half. Visibility wise, it only beats out the cage, but it's still pretty good, you might lose some vision at your feet, but that's it. It'll give you slighty better protection compared to a fishbowl, although not much more and it'll fog about as much as a visor. It's also kinda ugly lol

      I’ve seen those hybrid one and honestly I like the idea but like you said they look kinda ugly. I bet if they made the cage part black it would look a little better.

      I use a hybrid. I agree that they are ugly, but I think it is the best of both worlds. It doesn’t fog when on the ice but it does in the bench. Hockey spit does the trick though.

    • @kyled9357
      @kyled9357 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hockey Ninja makes a pretty solid hybrid that isn't ugly in my opinion. I wear it for ice hockey. It's really nice but yea it does fog up despite using anti fog treatment. I probably will get a light cage and alternate

    @jeager1966 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Grew up w/ a cage, like every kid. I actually went from a shield to a cage in the 70s when they came out. Took a shot to the face on the first day that would've knocked out a few teeth the day before. Always hated the visibility of the cage. The fishbowl was great for about a season. Eventually, it fogged super bad and no treatment seemed to help. And cleaning it on the bench was a pain. You have to unsnap and flip it up to get a finger or a cloth up under it. It is not a quick wipe. I have gone back to the shield. But I'm 55 and have had my teeth long enough.

    Great vid!! Funny enough, it was only when I became a TH-camr full-time that I realized the need to protect my face so I could continue sitting in front of the camera with all my teeth and general appearance in tact. After using a visor for several years I tried out multiple cages and a fishbowl and I found the best was the bauer re-akt cages with the super thin and light weight matte-silver bars. My biggest issue with the fish bowl, fog-aside, was that I could not stop losing the puck in my feet... there was a huge blind spot down low where I had no peripheral vision and that was enough to make me give up on the bowl and go with the cage permanently. Fast-forward a couple years and I don't notice the cage anymore while I'm playing. Another thing that's nice about having a cage is that I always have 2 hands on my stick because I'm not using one hand to cover the lower half of my face any more when defending lol. Keep up the awesome reviews, I love these kinds of videos!

    I just have to say, watching your videos has inspired me to get my legs back in shape to play in the beer leagues next year. It's been over 10 years since I've played in a league and I've just been itching to get back in the game. I've been considering getting the fishbowl... it just seems like the way to go. I always played with a cage before but I too think I will be experimenting with the fishbowl! Cheers!

    I used a cage for many years as defense and felt way more protected as a potential for getting hit in the face. As for the visor I switched recently in higher levels of hockey because the visibility trade reaction time for protection. And I don't regret my switch but i always recommend the cage for a lot of players. Good video and love the new videos that come out.

  • @JDnumero1
    @JDnumero1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I use a hybrid from Hockey Ninja that has a bit of cage on the forehead, and the nose down, with a visor in between. It never fogs up, is way lighter than a fishbowl and you can replace just the visor part fairly inexpensively.

  • @jordanmullenhopkins
    @jordanmullenhopkins ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I have used a CCM helmet and fishbowl combo. I skated with buddies for 5 hours and didn't have any fogging issues at all. Just take care of the "glass" with a jumbo microfiber towel and a helmet bag. Love the video man.

    @Rickd-jh7iw 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Used a hybrid Shield/cage in high school hockey, found it a pain to keep from fogging, and you had to take care not to scratch it. Switched to a cage and have used one ever since. I normally wear glasses off ice so I guess maybe I'm used to seeing a frame in my peripheral vision, so the cage doesn't bother me one bit. Love the protection.

  • @TyDeSimone
    @TyDeSimone 2 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    Well I’m a player, and a ref, so I use a cage, and the visor. I personally didn’t like the fish bowls because I thought they looked kinda ugly. I just learned to focus on the ice instead of the cage. I absolutely love my visor. It’s amazing how different it is going from my cage when playing to plopping on my visor to drop the puck. I think hockey is a great sport that is gaining more and more younger players like kids. It’s truly astonishing how this sport has changed throughout the years, and I hope it keeps going in the future.

      I do the same, and I'd probably be able to "see through" the cage if I wasn't switching back and forth so much. As it is, my first shift every game is spent readjusting, and I constantly bop myself on the cage trying to itch my nose or wipe off sweat during faceoffs

    I've always been a fishbowl guy and won't ever change, but my twins have used both a cage and a fishbowl throughout the years. One actually went back to the cage for breathability and says the vision isn't so bad even after experiencing the clear visor effect. The other guy just won't switch back to a cage. I only want him to because there's zero maintenance with a cage. With his visor, I have to clean it up every week, and not everything comes off either as mentioned in the video. Nasher, thanks for mentioning the focus issue with the cage, since that's something he has to deal with daily as it is. Good reason to keep him in a fishbowl.

    I used to wear a cage for years in beer league. I tried going to a visor and it was great - could see and breathe 100% better - til I went down to block a shot. Yep, like you said - you never know what you're gonna get. It hit my jaw, and long story short and some fairly major dental work later, I went to the fishbowl. I've used that for years and love it. The best of both worlds. Mine mainly fogs up when I go to the bench. On the ice, the airflow seems to keep it clear. They make plenty of anti-fog products for lenses and shields, and they work good. My only issue is sweat trickles from my head down the inside of the visor part; that's mildly annoying. Overall, though, from wearing the cage to nothing and back over the years, the fishbowl is the best option.

  • @drmessyobgyn7203
    @drmessyobgyn7203 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So I just switched from the full shield to the cage. The shield was always great for about the 1st half of the game, but then would get insanely foggy. I really noticed the fog when I would lift my helmet up to either wipe sweat off my face or maybe get a clear shot with my water bottle. The first time I would push my helmet up, that shield would not stay clear. I just got a white cage and I like it a lot . It’s also a lot cooler

  • @anthonyeon
    @anthonyeon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i'm a goalie, so obviously i wear the hybrid mask/cage. one thing i've noticed is that it's important to try out the various masks and cage configurations. I started with an Eddy mask (which they don't make anymore). it was pretty good. but then i got a Sportmask. the difference was unbelievable. the bars of the mask were aligned in such a way that my vision wasn't impeded. I can track the puck much much better, and can see what's going on by my feet better, too. So, i recommend trying as many makes and models as you can to compare the alignment of the bars on the cage with your particular eye-line.
    on another note, i've always wondered why hockey players aren't trying out the kind of helmets they use in lacrosse. To me, they look like they provide much better protection all around.

    I have used the fish bowl for the past couple of years, and I have been thinking about trying the cage again because of the fog. I constantly have to worry about cleaning it, and I have spent a ton of time trying to find good cleaners. But, they all have their pros and cons. So, I think it all just matters how you look at it

    I just started playing roller hockey this year at 48 lol. I use a cage as it came with my helmet. It bothered me my first couple shifts but now I don’t see it at all.
    My one complaint is that it’s a little heavy and pulls my helmet down sometimes. If the fishbowl is lighter I would definitely try it out.
    I’ve had helmets smash me in the face almost every game so some kind of protection is a must, I don’t love my dentists that much!

    Grew up with the cage, switched to visor in beer league for a few years, now I've been on the bubble for the past 3-4 years. I'm all about the bubble, I don't have issue with fogging unless my chin strap pops up to cover my mouth (blocking the air vents). The bubble is excellent unless you take a stick to the bubble, I had a bad streak mark that prevented me from A LOT of visibility for the remainder of the game.

    Started with the fishbowl over ten years ago. Fog and sweat definitely an issue. Quickly moved to visor and I can’t see myself switching. I did get my chin split by a stick once. Fortunately no teeth were harmed. I wore the cage for 1 game until stitches healed but I just prefer the visibility and less restricted head movements of the visor. I typically will tilt my head down completely in a shot lane at the moment I know it’s coming and if I’m in front of the net I’m timing my Defensemens shot so I can get my face turned around if I can’t tip it. It’s a risk but I think guys just go with what they’re comfortable with.

    Growing up we all had the cage. After a while those lines disappear. I used the visor when I got older it and it was fine.

I have taken the sticks to the face as we all have happens at every level. Great video.

    Used to always wear a visor, then switched to a cage as i got older when i realized my eyesight was way more important than the "freedom" of the visor. But five years later (and two serious concussions unrelated to hockey) i found that the cage was more dangerous for my overall wellbeing and went back to the visor. Found myself looking down way too much and had a lot more big collisions with the cage, and the combination of the extra weight and the limited visibility (when carrying the puck with your head up you lose the sense of where it is a lot more than with a visor) caused a few more minor concussions (got my "bell rung"). And having the cage tight against the chin ( which is needed to stay steady on the face) made movements more "robotic" causing a lot more muscle tension in the neck and seemed less able to "go with the flow" when contact happened.

    Last year I picked up a hybrid zero plus from Boulder Hockey Shields. It looks a little strange, but works the best. The Baurer Hybrid has too big of plexi area and it still fogs. The zero plus has zero fogging. My visor didn't fog, but I took a couple sticks to the chin, so switched it up.

    Never tried this, but I've heard that if you have a cage, you can paint it white and it helps blend the bars in with the ice to take your focus away from it if you're having issues. I've used all three and ended up keeping the shield after taking a stick in the face :D

    I personally enjoy the fishbowl/mask. I always used a cage when I was younger, it never bothered me, but I've always wanted to try a visor, but I just didn't wanna risk losing some teeth. So I tried out the mask and its been wonderful. I use some spray before every game inside and out, really don't need much. I rarely have it fog up unless I didn't use my spray then I have minor fog. I tend to not sweat as much as others so maybe that's partly why. I always keep it in my helmet bag to avoid scratches in the visor. Though I will say in Co, switching back to roller from ice using this, I felt like I had a hard time breathing.

    • @maximilianmaier3950

      good for you that you actually care about your health and your teeth. I know players who use the visor, because according to them only scared sissies use a cage or a fishbowl. But personally, I think risking an easily preventable injury doesn't make you tough, it just makes you stupid.

  • @litesnsirens
    @litesnsirens 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Many have commented that once they get into the game they don’t notice the cage anymore but that isn’t the same as saying it doesn’t affect your vision. Because it absolutely does. If you want to test it, after playing a game with the cage on for the whole game, just as you’re leaving the ice after the game, take your helmet off and look around the ice. You’ll be amazed at what you didn’t notice. My question between cage and fishbowl is weight. I’m currently using the cage and considering switching, I just don’t want to feel like my helmet is front heavy any more than it already is with the cage.

  • @NeroTheIncredible

    Used to play beer league for 15 years with an oakley aviator visor, and that’s the best I had playwise . Luckily I never lost any teeth but I had a few stitches on the chin !
    I don’t like cages, but I know they are the best protection and breathability . Now as I am old and try to preserve my aging face, I wear a bowl, I also have a grid / visor combo but the bowl does the job for me . Yes some fog and less breathability but hey, I’m playing with old beer leaguers so I don’t need to skate that hard !

    Don’t forget about weight! The fishbowl is heavy. The hybrid visor/cage versions are even heavier. I splurged on a titanium cage and it’s so light, and thinner bars. I prefer it for games, but for stick&puck or coaching, I prefer a visor

    I just bought bauer's hybrid cage and tested it on the ice. In the beginning it was good. Then as i got warm an visited the bench couple time it got so foggy, that I could barely see a thing. So i went to the locker and unscrewed it. Otherwise i could crash in someone or something. Maybe it depends on the rink, because it is almost outdoor with one wall missing. And I am sweating much. But i am sending hybrid shield back.

    I grew up playing with a cage, but I have been using a visor for the past four years and 2 months ago, I took a shot in the face: 6 broken teeth, stiches in both my lips. That's going to cost me 24K$ and being a student, I have no insurance. So let me tell you something, the visor is not worth it because we are not professional players who have access to a medical team and good teeth insurance. Great video Nasher keep up the good work!

  • @thebloodything1471

    I personally use the Hybrid face shield from Hockey Ninja, which is a visor on a cage, for the simple reason that I have to play with glasses on. The bars on a cage plus the ones of my glasses were really annoying, where as now, I only see the ones of my glasses, which is just normal for me at this point.

  • @Machtyn
    @Machtyn 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like my teeth just where they are. But I also like visibility. I got a half cage - plastic mask combo thing. I also had to get a visor for reffing games. Both are susceptible to scratches, no matter the marketing. And bring a cloth with you to wipe the moisture away. There are some good tricks to keep the moisture away. But that only works for about a game or two.

  • @NavyPanther54
    @NavyPanther54 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a goalie I thought I'd be okay with a cage. Tried a skate as a player recently, and the cage was brutal for me. Guess it's because as a goalie I'm trained on the puck, and I'm looking at it from a different angle. As a player, I found myself losing track of the puck behind the bars fairly often, probably from having to turn my head around a lot more often to see what's developing on the ice. Grabbed a visor for the second skate and it was unreal how much easier it was to do literally everything.

Used a cage from there and for me it dosent bother me, I dont even notice it. Ill also add in my last game taking a face off the puck came right back up to my face and woulda prolly popped a few teeth out if I didnt have the cage. Pretty much from all the face hits ive taken id look like Frankenstein if I had no mask or a visor. Ill never take the cage off.

  • @no2freakshow
    @no2freakshow 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I never tried a fishbowl. I had a visor when I bought my very first helmet, and I did not like it at all. Got rid of it after a month. Besides the constant wiping away the condensation, I found the bottom edge of it to be always at the level at which my eyes were tracking the puck. It was very distracting. Also, every exhale left a fog of carbon dioxide which seemed to sit just at nose level. I actually found it MORE DIFFICULT to breathe with the visor. The cage has much better air flow. I never noticed the cage bars as much as I did the visor's bottom edge. - I just naturally focus beyond them. My biggest complaint about the cage is the weight. Much heavier than the other options. Noticeably heavier. Even so, I prefer the cage.

    The fish bowl is nice but you can cut some bars off the cage and it gives clear visibility. As if you’re not wearing anything at all.
    You have to cut the 2 bars on each side that are directly in line with your eyes.
    Cut the perpendicular bars that are in your eye site. It’s only a few
