MrSilviaChandley1988 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2012 I just picked up a Concept II (fish bowl) full shield, I was wearing a Bauer straight cut half shield, but after taking a puck to the mouth (saved by mouth guard), I decided to pick one up because, I really can't go into work with missing teeth or a bruised/Cut up face. Loved the vision of the Bauer half shield, I realized this may not offer quite the same, but was hoping to hear some good feedback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pittu 15 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 I switched to one after catching a swinging stick to the bridge of my nose in beer league last season. I like it alot. The only thing that I didnt like was the peripheral puck vision when the puck was on my stick because of the bars. I'm sure I'd have gotten used to it if I had played with it for a while. I also hated having to unsnap it to wipe my face all the time. I took a dremel and cut the bars out just below the visor portion but left the jaw part of it in place. It is a good compromise, for me anyway. I am sure that someday I'll catch one in the teeth and regret it, if Murphy sticks around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zachary 2 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 I've had mine for a whole year and I still like it. Only con in my opinion is the ventilation is terrible and makes it hard to breathe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bolt91 31 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 the ventilation is terrible and makes it hard to breatheI totally agree. Makes it difficult to focus on playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qmechanic 17 Report post Posted August 11, 2012 I don't know about the Concept II, but I have an Itech FX-50 which has replaceable optically-correct shields and it works really well for me. Minimal fogging issues and it's optically correct, so there is no distortion to my vision. The FX-50 is discontinued but you can probably find it somewhere used. The shields are still being made by Bauer (after they bought Itech). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
