tokes 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2005 Itech has a lot of shields. The certified shields should be just as long, and the non-certified ones are shorter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The straight HS22 and straight Oakley are pretty similar in size and the aviators are larger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hapamatt122 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 I just got the HS22 straight cut and I think its pretty small, although I'm coming from an RBE1 which was a monster.. I wouldn't want any smaller than the one I've got now, its perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sniper21 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2006 along with the scratch question what do u do about getting sweat on the visor. i have a sweat band in my helmet but i still feel about the second period the sweat band becomes saturated and sweat eventually gets on my sheild and it really bothers me. Any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted April 18, 2006 I keep an extra towel on the bench to wipe off my visor and I wipe it after every shift. Other than buffing the hell out of the visor with a soft cloth, I haven;t found anything that really fixes scratches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sichy 6 Report post Posted April 18, 2006 Is it me or are these visors about the same size in height?Oakleyhttp://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/se...=57194729&cdi=0http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/se...=56391836&cdi=0Itechhttp://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/se...=57160067&cdi=0http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/se...=56121792&cdi=0By the way, is there a specific type of spray that you are suppose to purchase with when you purchase an Oakley visor. I've read on customer reviews that if you use a different type of cleaner for your Oakley visor other then the Oakley spray of some sort that you can ruin your visor.

Sichy 6 Report post Posted April 20, 2006 Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean to phrase the question in a way to ask whether or not the Itech was a retail model or not, I was just curious as to whether or not the Itech was similar to the size of the Oakley. So would you say that that Itech visor is about the same size as the Oakley straight cut small? However, I'm also curious as to which company provides for a better visor, Oakley or Itech?

It's pro only, nobody has one to measure against an oakley. Since it's only available to pros what would it matter if it's larger, smaller or the same size?

hapamatt122 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2006 if I'm correct, I believe the itech straight is in between the oakley straight small and the straight regular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dix0r 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2006 i bought a visor today that's almost exactly like what zetterberg has in that pic, except it's made by oakley. it's a modified straight small. you can't really tell in the picture as it's at a weird angle, but it's pretty close. i'll take pics tomorrow if i remember - i left it in my locker tonight though...http://www.hockeymonkey.com/oakmodstrtslot.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
analog999 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2006 sorry to hijack a thread but i have an itech visor with surface sratches, what can i use to get rid of them, if there is anyway? I've had some success with a dremmel tool and the cotton polishers, along with some plastic polishing compound. Just be careful that you don't overheat the plastic or it will look all fuzzy.I have a bunch of stratches currently and none of them seem to bother me when I'm on the ice.I took an RBE1 and cut down about an inch along the bottom (followed the contour) and I added an extra hole below the lower slot so that the shield stays securely in place and slightly higher than if you used the original slots. Love it and it was much cheaper than buying the expensive ones. Again, dremmel tool with a cutter.For cleaning, when it is bad I use a disposable alcohol cloth for cleaning glasses (a box of them from Costco is like $6). On the bench I just take off my glove and use my finger as a squeegy. Haven't had any problems. May not work on certain visors though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC83 2 Report post Posted July 29, 2006 i went to one of my LHS, and there was a retail itech that was the smallest thing i have ever seen i think they call it the itech pro aviator, or something like that, it barely goes below your eyes... and i don't think it would protect you from anything what so ever...
