HS22/Oakley pro aviator on size L CCM 692

[TBLfan 25]

I really hate these threads but my LHSs don't carry these visors. I'm worried about the fit because I have an itech HLC that doesn't fit too well(actually it's my friend's) as well as an oakley VR902 half shield(also a friend's) that doesn't come down far enough, although I'd be willing to use it if it wasn't blue. I really like the look of these half shields(the HS22 and pro aviator) and want to know how well they will fit on my size large 692(892 or 1092) and how far it will come down. Please if any of you have either one of these combos please post some pics and maybe a measurement from the bottom of the front of the helmet to the bottom of the half shield. Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Also wanted to throw this out there; If any of you have a used clear HS22 or pro aviator, I'd be interested in buying one or trading for one.

Just to clearify these are the half shields I'm looking for:

Itech HS22 pro wave

Oakley pro aviator

Both the Oakley and the Itech HS22 look good on the 692. I use both. The only thing that might sway your decision (if it means anything)...is that the Oakley is certified but the HS22 is not. Personally, I like the yellow and the blue oakley over the HS22 mirrored. I switched two weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Now I just have to get used to people being able to see my eyes again

I got the hs22 about a week ago. This thread was from waaay back when. Personally, I don't like the look.

You ditching it?

Is the visor for casual pickup games, and the full cage for league chippiness?

[TBLfan 25]

nah, I'm going to keep it. I'm trying to find a cheap 8k to throw in some VN or a pro stock 8k with vn already in it...

Right now I'm still rocking the 8500 cage, but I might switch to the half shield next season. :)

if youre looking for an 8K with VN id just go with the 4K, i hate the way the 8 and 6K fits and looks, but i am impressed with how the 4K fits and looks, comming from bauer 4000s and a NBH 4500

[TBLfan 25]

i want the width adjustment, isn't that only on the 8k? I haven't really kept up as I've only recently started looking for an alternative for my 692 but I believe that the 8k is the only one with width adjustment.

If you are interested in other combos, i found some older pics on my harddrive.

I decided to give the visor a try, so I picked up an Itech RBEI for $25 today at the LHS, along with some other stuffs. Looks pretty cool on my NBH 4500 bucket.

I noticed a handful of NHLers rock this visor (Jason Blake, Pavel Datsyuk, Craig MacDonald, etc.), eventhough it's considered lowest of the low beer league style.

I might as well add up a picture of my 692 with the HS22 Aviator.

P.S. Has anyone with this visor noticed that the itech stickers bother you? It kinda bothers me when the helmet is on but I'm not sure whether it will bother me in game, probably not but who knows?

Looks nice, man. I also have the red Itech stickers on mine, but since the RBEI is longer on the sides, and nearer my facial cheeks, they're not an issue.

Funny how we both jocked the new NBH oval cage, now we're going all Swedish...

[TBLfan 25]

haha, good point... Maybe it was all the work we had to go through to find one, well at least I got mine while you got the white cage.

Idk, I'm torn on the look. It just looks weird and bubbly :P Oh well, who really cares? *shrug*

Then remove it to the top corner, so you can show off pricey Itech quality and still have the vision you want ;)

Actually I was going to remove the stickers and put them on my 8.0 and sell it as an Itech 8.0 OPS... It's a TBLfan SMU ;)
