MarsB 33 Report post Posted June 27, 2014 Cateye cage for player.270g in contrast with ordinary plastic visor's 80g... That's awesome! Why, it's the best of both worlds: the protection of a half shield and the visibility of a cage... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badger_14 601 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Cateye cage for player.270g in contrast with ordinary plastic visor's 80g... I've seen players here wear a similar set-up ... usually older guys. I think some brand did make player face cages in a cat-eye style at one point? Jofa? Cooper? Someone here who is more knowledgeable will, I am sure, step up.

Not as comfy as the retail CCM RBZs (I just tried on a pair of XLs at HM and they felt unreal), but pretty nice regardless. Wore them at pickup a couple of nights ago and didn't even notice them.

IPv6Freely 2082 Report post Posted July 4, 2014 Very excited for my most recent pickups. First, a pair of the Pro Stock version of arguably one of the best elbow pads ever made, the white Warrior Projekt. Identical fit, but a bit stiffer with more protection. Next up is something I've wanted to try for a long time, and with the deal @flyers10 gave me I couldn't pass it up. Got it installed this morning and wore it around the house for a bit. Assuming this thing doesn't fog up on me, I will definitely be liking this more than a cage! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
215BroadStBullies610 434 Report post Posted July 6, 2014 I'm diggin' the bubble. I've had mine for about 3 years now and I like it. It does seem to fog up more during the spring/summer but that's only when I'm on the bench. Other than that, I don't miss my cage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MINIGREEK 11 Report post Posted July 6, 2014 Anyone know what the G+1 means? Is it just the French-Canadian version of telling me it's 1" longer than inseam? That's my only guess. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IPv6Freely 2082 Report post Posted July 6, 2014 Cool! Well if I like this then I'll likely buy the new model when it's out. This one was just an inexpensive test to see if I liked it. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bunnyman666 445 Report post Posted July 6, 2014 I liked my Avision Ahead, but ultimately, the lens ends up fogging. It took six months of playing 3x per week. It is replaceable, and if I get into a league that requires HECC certification on cages/visors, I will replace the lens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoeshine boy 241 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 I started out with a visor but switched to the cage because I got sticked right in the face (no call!!) and the gash was so big I couldn't even buff it out. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IPv6Freely 2082 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 mine was one of those ZLeader half cage/half visor things that pivots up. damn that thing was heavy!Haven't seen one of those before.I REALLY miss having just a visor. It was so much nicer in every way. But man, too many sticks in the face (luckily nothing bad). Maybe if I ever move up a division (where people have a bit more control over their sticks) I'll go back to a visor. But that's unlikely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoeshine boy 241 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) best pic I could find on Google:it clipped on the front and locked. if you needed air or water or whatever you just pivoted it up since there were no straps to unsnap.I would never wear just a visor. even in higher levels pucks can still deflect up and take out your teeth. not worth it.
