Adding hang to cage

[seanmulvy83 0]

Hey guys I got a new chrome 480 and bauer 5500. Do you guys sag your cage buy lowering the hooks that hold the cage on the side of the helmet. Or do you just loosen your straps?

If it won't fit by flipping the loops over up front where it pivots... and then won't fit any better by moving the J-hooks... then get a cage that will. No sense in leaving it loose as that defeats the purpose. And use the J-hooks too.

Just wear your cage the right way. Save yourself some scars and blood.

once I read 'hang' and '480', my PHEW radar went haywire...don't be a PHEW-tard, wear your cage properly. It will save your from concussions, lost teeth, cuts, bruises, you name it.

Second that... used to wear a bubble loose aka " with hang" went in for a puck in the corner got hit from behind which resulted the cage hitting the boards then my face and put a nice gash across my chin and loosened my teeth a bit moral of the story yeah it looks cool but s*** don't jeopardize your career to look cool. things can happen on a dime.

Not a good Idea, when I was younger I thought it would be a good idea to do it and ended up with 18 stitches in my chin. Wear it like its made to wear. But if you want stitches, broken jaw or a concussion be my guess.

What everyone else said.

Don't modify safety gear for style points.

I was in a collision one time with a guy who was wearing a improper fitting cage. He ended up having the cage break the bone above his upper front teeth.

Like others have said wear the cage right & save yourself unneeded injury.

And I don't see the connection; is this related to improper cage wear?

Yes, the helmet popped off and he went into the boards helmet-less.

Regardless, time to close this thread.
