Idk i've always used a cage and I feel like once your in the play and focused on the puck or playing defence or whatever you don't even see the cage in front of you. I also block a lot of shots and with a cage I don't have to worry about a puck knocking out my jibs

[@bigboredom5800]

That’s what I was about to say. I’ve used a cage for about 12 years since I started hockey and I was thinking about it and I don’t even notice the cage. I used a fishbowl for a few games last year and I had to switch back because it would just fog up and at one point I took a shot to the face and the fishbowl just cracked.

[@ezcxltres1689]

I agree

[@friendlymarble]

I play goalie so I have to use the cage, and when I’m playing there’s not really any room to be distracted. But sometimes it does get a little annoying

[@hockeyboy9408]

Yeah

[@mikailsiddiqui8763]

I agree

[@steve581581]

I had a fishbowl for years and went back to a cage. The only time I noticed the cage was the first few games inbetween shifts, once I hopped the wall I didn't know it was there. Sweat on the inside of the visor or bowl drives me nuts.

[@MKZ3003]

Yeah I really don’t get the problem with the cage. Tbh the cage might be better cause no fog

[@NintenJoe09]

I love my fishbowl but I come across the same problem. I’m constantly cleaning it on the bench.

[@donziperk]

The bars on my cage aren’t round but oval and the inside are painted white. Don’t notice them at all.

[@krytxps]

Recently picked up a fishbowl myself and I'm very pleased with it. I've never understood the fogging issue, as I knew it existed, I went to the first game without any anti fog or conditioner treatment just to see how bad it gets. Well, it really wasn't bad at all, it fogged up twice on the bench when i was bent tying my skates or something, once i jump on the ice the fog goes away in a few seconds, and then on the next change, if I didn't specifically breathe on the upper portion of the visor, it honestly didn't fog up at all. So it's 100% the best choice for me, full protection and visibility, best of both worlds.

[@wilcampbell2128]

If it fogs use shampoo on it

[@user-ig4sd9rm3w]

I used a fishbowl for like half a year and my main complaint was I feel like it restricted my breathing// the cage fells more open to me

[@holofech9744]

2 things not mentioned: the more expensive the cage, the thinner the bars get. It's just as protective, but you get better visibility. There is one other option, the hybrid cage. It's a visor in the top half and a cage in the bottom half. Visibility wise, it only beats out the cage, but it's still pretty good, you might lose some vision at your feet, but that's it. It'll give you slighty better protection compared to a fishbowl, although not much more and it'll fog about as much as a visor. It's also kinda ugly lol

[@midwestmodeltrains3985]

I’ve seen those hybrid one and honestly I like the idea but like you said they look kinda ugly. I bet if they made the cage part black it would look a little better.

[@slrCobrA]

I use a hybrid. I agree that they are ugly, but I think it is the best of both worlds. It doesn’t fog when on the ice but it does in the bench. Hockey spit does the trick though.

[@kyled9357]

Hockey Ninja makes a pretty solid hybrid that isn't ugly in my opinion. I wear it for ice hockey. It's really nice but yea it does fog up despite using anti fog treatment. I probably will get a light cage and alternate

[@zebrapants6250]

Idk whenever my team(teammates)see a guy with a hybrid they call that person gay, I don’t know why though

[@TyDeSimone]

Well I’m a player, and a ref, so I use a cage, and the visor. I personally didn’t like the fish bowls because I thought they looked kinda ugly. I just learned to focus on the ice instead of the cage. I absolutely love my visor. It’s amazing how different it is going from my cage when playing to plopping on my visor to drop the puck. I think hockey is a great sport that is gaining more and more younger players like kids. It’s truly astonishing how this sport has changed throughout the years, and I hope it keeps going in the future.

[@sydneymads5220]

I do the same, and I'd probably be able to "see through" the cage if I wasn't switching back and forth so much. As it is, my first shift every game is spent readjusting, and I constantly bop myself on the cage trying to itch my nose or wipe off sweat during faceoffs

[@notloc_1559]

I feel the same

[@CodyOsteen5]

I think they look good. And honestly taking a puck to the face or loosing a tooth is a lot uglier than the helmet.

[@JimKimTheIdeaHunters]

For beer league hockey, I rock the Bauer Profile 2 cage with the I2 color scheme. Black on the outside to reduce glare with white on the inside so the puck stands out better.

[@jeager1966]

Grew up w/ a cage, like every kid. I actually went from a shield to a cage in the 70s when they came out. Took a shot to the face on the first day that would've knocked out a few teeth the day before. Always hated the visibility of the cage. The fishbowl was great for about a season. Eventually, it fogged super bad and no treatment seemed to help. And cleaning it on the bench was a pain. You have to unsnap and flip it up to get a finger or a cloth up under it. It is not a quick wipe. I have gone back to the shield. But I'm 55 and have had my teeth long enough.

[@purespeedruns]

I used a cage for many years as defense and felt way more protected as a potential for getting hit in the face. As for the visor I switched recently in higher levels of hockey because the visibility trade reaction time for protection. And I don't regret my switch but i always recommend the cage for a lot of players. Good video and love the new videos that come out.

[@danielschiffer]

Great vid!! Funny enough, it was only when I became a KZbinr full-time that I realized the need to protect my face so I could continue sitting in front of the camera with all my teeth and general appearance in tact. After using a visor for several years I tried out multiple cages and a fishbowl and I found the best was the bauer re-akt cages with the super thin and light weight matte-silver bars. My biggest issue with the fish bowl, fog-aside, was that I could not stop losing the puck in my feet... there was a huge blind spot down low where I had no peripheral vision and that was enough to make me give up on the bowl and go with the cage permanently. Fast-forward a couple years and I don't notice the cage anymore while I'm playing. Another thing that's nice about having a cage is that I always have 2 hands on my stick because I'm not using one hand to cover the lower half of my face any more when defending lol. Keep up the awesome reviews, I love these kinds of videos!

[@AlexLmcool]

I follow your work, so you're a hockey player too !

[@BrotherBrown]

I feel the same way Daniel! The cage isn’t as great as my visor was but I’ve learned to ignore it. Now I’m not worried to get my teeth smashed!

[@BecomeEliteHockey]

My rule has always been if everyone is wearing a visor then wear a visor. If it’s mixed you gotta go cage. Too many people get reckless when they have that facial protection.

[@Brinxy13]

That's a weird rule lol

[@BecomeEliteHockey]

@@Brinxy13 as someone who’s played in leagues where you have to wear a visor and also in leagues where you have the option. It’s not that weird. People play like weirdos with cages on in those league

[@OGDonaldEngel]

Yeah, I agree. I wore a visor in mens league until my buddy, who also wears a visor, had his nose broken. I really preferred the visor but I would rather have my face intact.

[@JDnumero1]

I use a hybrid from Hockey Ninja that has a bit of cage on the forehead, and the nose down, with a visor in between. It never fogs up, is way lighter than a fishbowl and you can replace just the visor part fairly inexpensively.

[@jordanmullenhopkins]

I have used a CCM helmet and fishbowl combo. I skated with buddies for 5 hours and didn't have any fogging issues at all. Just take care of the "glass" with a jumbo microfiber towel and a helmet bag. Love the video man.

[@scottc2554]

Great video! If you’re having trouble with fog try blue Dawn dish soap before any spray. Something my coach taught me and I literally haven’t had fogging trouble ever since.

[@Rickd-jh7iw]

Used a hybrid Shield/cage in high school hockey, found it a pain to keep from fogging, and you had to take care not to scratch it. Switched to a cage and have used one ever since. I normally wear glasses off ice so I guess maybe I'm used to seeing a frame in my peripheral vision, so the cage doesn't bother me one bit. Love the protection.

[@Shroomer47]

I just have to say, watching your videos has inspired me to get my legs back in shape to play in the beer leagues next year. It's been over 10 years since I've played in a league and I've just been itching to get back in the game. I've been considering getting the fishbowl... it just seems like the way to go. I always played with a cage before but I too think I will be experimenting with the fishbowl! Cheers!

[@rh71el2]

I've always been a fishbowl guy and won't ever change, but my twins have used both a cage and a fishbowl throughout the years. One actually went back to the cage for breathability and says the vision isn't so bad even after experiencing the clear visor effect. The other guy just won't switch back to a cage. I only want him to because there's zero maintenance with a cage. With his visor, I have to clean it up every week, and not everything comes off either as mentioned in the video. Nasher, thanks for mentioning the focus issue with the cage, since that's something he has to deal with daily as it is. Good reason to keep him in a fishbowl.

[@sebastienk787]

[@pickmeupeveryday]

Great product review video Nasher!!!

[@codymctoasty895]

I literally thought about this a couple days ago thank you you’re the goat

[@anthonyeon]

i'm a goalie, so obviously i wear the hybrid mask/cage. one thing i've noticed is that it's important to try out the various masks and cage configurations. I started with an Eddy mask (which they don't make anymore). it was pretty good. but then i got a Sportmask. the difference was unbelievable. the bars of the mask were aligned in such a way that my vision wasn't impeded. I can track the puck much much better, and can see what's going on by my feet better, too. So, i recommend trying as many makes and models as you can to compare the alignment of the bars on the cage with your particular eye-line. on another note, i've always wondered why hockey players aren't trying out the kind of helmets they use in lacrosse. To me, they look like they provide much better protection all around.

[@BKHolmstrom_23]

I used to wear a cage for years in beer league. I tried going to a visor and it was great - could see and breathe 100% better - til I went down to block a shot. Yep, like you said - you never know what you're gonna get. It hit my jaw, and long story short and some fairly major dental work later, I went to the fishbowl. I've used that for years and love it. The best of both worlds. Mine mainly fogs up when I go to the bench. On the ice, the airflow seems to keep it clear. They make plenty of anti-fog products for lenses and shields, and they work good. My only issue is sweat trickles from my head down the inside of the visor part; that's mildly annoying. Overall, though, from wearing the cage to nothing and back over the years, the fishbowl is the best option.

[@drmessyobgyn7203]

So I just switched from the full shield to the cage. The shield was always great for about the 1st half of the game, but then would get insanely foggy. I really noticed the fog when I would lift my helmet up to either wipe sweat off my face or maybe get a clear shot with my water bottle. The first time I would push my helmet up, that shield would not stay clear. I just got a white cage and I like it a lot . It’s also a lot cooler

[@DrewZaun]

I just started playing roller hockey this year at 48 lol. I use a cage as it came with my helmet. It bothered me my first couple shifts but now I don’t see it at all. My one complaint is that it’s a little heavy and pulls my helmet down sometimes. If the fishbowl is lighter I would definitely try it out. I’ve had helmets smash me in the face almost every game so some kind of protection is a must, I don’t love my dentists that much!

[@peterfischbach5839]

I love your vids keep up the good work

[@wstriker1114]

I have used the fish bowl for the past couple of years, and I have been thinking about trying the cage again because of the fog. I constantly have to worry about cleaning it, and I have spent a ton of time trying to find good cleaners. But, they all have their pros and cons. So, I think it all just matters how you look at it

[@ert7049]

What cleaner do you use I just a got a fish bowl I like it

[@EDSC_CANADA]

I’ve used many sprays the don’t really work. I now use body wash I bring with me to shower. Rub a bit all around the inside then wipe it off with a good Costco microfibre cloth. Old spice always works fine.

[@ZBHL40]

I love ur hockey vids keep it up

[@litesnsirens]

Many have commented that once they get into the game they don’t notice the cage anymore but that isn’t the same as saying it doesn’t affect your vision. Because it absolutely does. If you want to test it, after playing a game with the cage on for the whole game, just as you’re leaving the ice after the game, take your helmet off and look around the ice. You’ll be amazed at what you didn’t notice. My question between cage and fishbowl is weight. I’m currently using the cage and considering switching, I just don’t want to feel like my helmet is front heavy any more than it already is with the cage.

[@coryharder191]

Just upgraded my 8 year old from the cage to the fishbowl. He loves the bowl, and can see everything. He loves your videos nasher! Thanks for what you do!

[@motogig7803]

Growing up we all had the cage. After a while those lines disappear. I used the visor when I got older it and it was fine. I would rather play without either but as you said lots of crazy stuff happens and not all players are careful or care about their opponents over all health. I have taken the sticks to the face as we all have happens at every level. Great video.

[@RxG21]

The fishbowl was always my first option. I liked the face shield protecting the eyes getting dry while skating. Fog Off wipes before every game and I never had any fogging issues ever. I never liked the cage

[@kellan9640]

love you vids man

[@LiamTheoCreative]

Grew up with the cage, switched to visor in beer league for a few years, now I've been on the bubble for the past 3-4 years. I'm all about the bubble, I don't have issue with fogging unless my chin strap pops up to cover my mouth (blocking the air vents). The bubble is excellent unless you take a stick to the bubble, I had a bad streak mark that prevented me from A LOT of visibility for the remainder of the game.

[@quinn8717]

[@Brady14dady]

hey love you vids nasher

[@louishizme9327]

I think that the cage is the best option because when you are focusing on the game you don’t even notice it and the fish bowl it depends on the rink but in some rinks it gets so foggy you can barely see I have never tried the visor

[@stupidas9466]

Used to always wear a visor, then switched to a cage as i got older when i realized my eyesight was way more important than the "freedom" of the visor. But five years later (and two serious concussions unrelated to hockey) i found that the cage was more dangerous for my overall wellbeing and went back to the visor. Found myself looking down way too much and had a lot more big collisions with the cage, and the combination of the extra weight and the limited visibility (when carrying the puck with your head up you lose the sense of where it is a lot more than with a visor) caused a few more minor concussions (got my "bell rung"). And having the cage tight against the chin ( which is needed to stay steady on the face) made movements more "robotic" causing a lot more muscle tension in the neck and seemed less able to "go with the flow" when contact happened.

[@steezy_R6]

[@rebel_4146]

[@xTahDreamz]

I grew up playing with a cage, but I have been using a visor for the past four years and 2 months ago, I took a shot in the face: 6 broken teeth, stiches in both my lips. That's going to cost me 24K$ and being a student, I have no insurance. So let me tell you something, the visor is not worth it because we are not professional players who have access to a medical team and good teeth insurance. Great video Nasher keep up the good work!

[@NorthPaddle]

Last year I picked up a hybrid zero plus from Boulder Hockey Shields. It looks a little strange, but works the best. The Baurer Hybrid has too big of plexi area and it still fogs. The zero plus has zero fogging. My visor didn't fog, but I took a couple sticks to the chin, so switched it up.

[@morganquinlan1577]

What do you think of the wargate shield?

[@jghosthockey1400]

Personally I use the cage with the visor. I play most pick up or beer league games. I had a fishbowl but a bit of fogging was always an issue. The cage/visor combo was much better. Hardly any fogging with the security of a steel cage.

[@williamjames6835]

Awesome already have the Go Pro mount on the new helmet!

[@gaming_with_sebastian222]

Keep the good work

[@CJ0923]

Started with the fishbowl over ten years ago. Fog and sweat definitely an issue. Quickly moved to visor and I can’t see myself switching. I did get my chin split by a stick once. Fortunately no teeth were harmed. I wore the cage for 1 game until stitches healed but I just prefer the visibility and less restricted head movements of the visor. I typically will tilt my head down completely in a shot lane at the moment I know it’s coming and if I’m in front of the net I’m timing my Defensemens shot so I can get my face turned around if I can’t tip it. It’s a risk but I think guys just go with what they’re comfortable with.

[@rororock]

I use the visor metal cage hybrid. Love it.

[@Teddybaer06]

The one thing I’ve got against of a fishbowl is once you start sweating it’ll fog up the glass, especially if your on an odr, and that’s my number one problem with that because I have to wear glasses.

[@BradWilliams15]

Never tried this, but I've heard that if you have a cage, you can paint it white and it helps blend the bars in with the ice to take your focus away from it if you're having issues. I've used all three and ended up keeping the shield after taking a stick in the face :D

[@Yeksi]

i ended up picking up a white cage just because it was the only thing available. ive used it for a practice now and i definitely noticed a difference with the white cage. helped out a good bit

Hi Nasher, no fog at all with a fishbowl for roller hockey. Don't worry about that 😉 For ice hockey, just apply a small quantity of dish soap in the internal face of the fishbowl before the game, and you are good to go 👍 Have fun with your fishbowl ! Dorian (playing with a fishbowl since 2011)

[@Colbyw74]

a white cage or a oreo cage is the best imo the white blends in with the ice the comfort is great especially if u loosen the straps and ur not gonna pull a pavelski and take a puck to the face which happens frequently in higher leagues + it doesnt fog even visors fog when its cold from my experience

[@1985jimmydean]

Ditto on the white cages for me. As a goaltender I always make sure I have a powder coated white cage. They used to be the standard and now everyone has stainless/chrome

[@AnHourOfWolves]

Cage for me. I found that the fog on the bubble wasn't terrible as long as I was skating, so as long as I didn't stop and stand on the blueline for any amount of time.... :D

[@PeachyPrince]

I personally enjoy the fishbowl/mask. I always used a cage when I was younger, it never bothered me, but I've always wanted to try a visor, but I just didn't wanna risk losing some teeth. So I tried out the mask and its been wonderful. I use some spray before every game inside and out, really don't need much. I rarely have it fog up unless I didn't use my spray then I have minor fog. I tend to not sweat as much as others so maybe that's partly why. I always keep it in my helmet bag to avoid scratches in the visor. Though I will say in Co, switching back to roller from ice using this, I felt like I had a hard time breathing.

[@maximilianmaier3950]

good for you that you actually care about your health and your teeth. I know players who use the visor, because according to them only scared sissies use a cage or a fishbowl. But personally, I think risking an easily preventable injury doesn't make you tough, it just makes you stupid.

[@monkeys2095]

Great pick!

[@xeiAiex]

I play with a visor and I too cover my face with my glove when I'm in a shot-blocking kind of situation. I've taken a few sticks to the visor and so far so good 🤞

[@MrVisde]

Loved playing with a half visor until getting some teeth knocked out. The fishbowl was like looking through a dirty window…kinda foggy and scratched up. I prefer the birdcage for protection.

[@emhockey4585]

When I started using a cage when I first started about 2 years later I started using a fishbowl and the fishbowl is amazing

[@jakamodicscavnicar4633]

I'm using the fish bowl. I know that you are sponsored by bauer. I've used both bauer and ccm and i have my ccm longer and chin guard is a lot nicer but it's overall good stuf

[@slansing2247]

Does Nasher respond also love the video nasher your the best

[@Oleanders_Alchemist]

I’m with visor and fishbowl. Fishbowl: For hockey only, preferred to have clear vision with the helmet due to glasses. Visor: Casual skating, stick and puck, and for my skate instructor job. Mainly to protect my glasses so I’m able to breathe freely without its fog.

[@snackalackbar]

Those close up shots were just crisp.

[@NeroTheIncredible]

Used to play beer league for 15 years with an oakley aviator visor, and that’s the best I had playwise . Luckily I never lost any teeth but I had a few stitches on the chin ! I don’t like cages, but I know they are the best protection and breathability . Now as I am old and try to preserve my aging face, I wear a bowl, I also have a grid / visor combo but the bowl does the job for me . Yes some fog and less breathability but hey, I’m playing with old beer leaguers so I don’t need to skate that hard !

[@dc2090]

I'm thinking of trying the hybrid... I know people say you don't see the cage, but you do, it obstructs your vision, even if you don't notice it.

[@akornylak]

Don’t forget about weight! The fishbowl is heavy. The hybrid visor/cage versions are even heavier. I splurged on a titanium cage and it’s so light, and thinner bars. I prefer it for games, but for stick&puck or coaching, I prefer a visor

[@MarcusDoughty15]

This is gonna be a interesting vid

[@misfits12o]

Just started playing hockey a year ago and have never even thought about the cage while playing. Doesn’t bother me at all. Probably helps that I played football growing up. Catching/tracking a ball while looking through those thick bars is a pain

[@mikeyj10]

I’m old enough that we played without facial protection in beer league, but people kept there sticks down back then. It also made switching between playing and ref’ing way easier too

[@RealOjSKY]

I am using Cage , and i was thinking a lot about fishbowl .. Sooo iam about to get one. Nice vid. ;)

[@elilipskar170]

Hey Nasher, don’t know if your going to see this I play with a fishbowl and one thing I found rly useful was I bought these anti fog regular glasses wipes and the glasses cleaner towel thingy and just use the wipe on the inside outside then kinda shine it with the glasses towel and then it doesn’t fog up at all and when then wipe wears off you just use another one if you’d like the exact company just ask lol and I can check but I would definitely recommend it from cvs (kinda convenience store) don’t know what you would have

[@TMFC1973]

Have you tried the fishbowl with the metal cage?

[@batmancollects4491]

you forgot the Visor/Cage combo Nasher! ie. the Avision Ahead Zero or the Bauer Hybrid Shield. These have more airflow and doesn't fog up like a fishbowl

[@mathieugravelle]

Ive used all 3 and the fish bowl was by far the wort option as it constantly fogged up and was very hard to ceep clean and free of scratches

[@NavyPanther54]

As a goalie I thought I'd be okay with a cage. Tried a skate as a player recently, and the cage was brutal for me. Guess it's because as a goalie I'm trained on the puck, and I'm looking at it from a different angle. As a player, I found myself losing track of the puck behind the bars fairly often, probably from having to turn my head around a lot more often to see what's developing on the ice. Grabbed a visor for the second skate and it was unreal how much easier it was to do literally everything.

[@1985jimmydean]

Yeah, found the exact same thing myself. Tracking the puck is way different as a goaltender.

[@romanhockey3445]

Nasher can you please do a review on the trigger 6 pro

[@patriciagear1807]

I rock with the fish bowl I used to do a white cage but I wanted to try the fish bowl and it's amazing I recommend

[@kschellenberg8214]

I just came across your channel today. Looking for reviews on the Bauer Hybrid Shield. It's a cross between a visor and a cage, similar but different to the fish bowl type shield. Wondering if you've ever tried one or have heard anything about them. I can't find anyone who has reviewed them before. It sounds like you might get the best of both worlds with a visor for clear visibility and a cage for less fogging issues.

[@arsm6686]

I just bought bauer's hybrid cage and tested it on the ice. In the beginning it was good. Then as i got warm an visited the bench couple time it got so foggy, that I could barely see a thing. So i went to the locker and unscrewed it. Otherwise i could crash in someone or something. Maybe it depends on the rink, because it is almost outdoor with one wall missing. And I am sweating much. But i am sending hybrid shield back.

[@donziperk]

I started with a 25 years ago then went to a fish bowl 10 years later but 2 years ago switched to a cage took a while to get used but without a doubt its the best. Can’t tell you how many stitches I probably avoided and a chicklet or two.

[@thebloodything1471]

I personally use the Hybrid face shield from Hockey Ninja, which is a visor on a cage, for the simple reason that I have to play with glasses on. The bars on a cage plus the ones of my glasses were really annoying, where as now, I only see the ones of my glasses, which is just normal for me at this point.

[@jonathanhand3672]

Yo nasher I was just playing hut rush threes with pekka rinne and I played u, u were nasty

[@fabianmertz6496]

I’ve always used cage and it’s much better when you get a white so it blends in with the ice

[@nate7750]

Nasher for your next shootout challenge you should do it only using the bottom six of that team, no star players just the 3rd and 4th liners

[@mystictk4149]

Man look at these impressive skills.

[@dexyyyyy]

Good day when nasher uploads

[@Machtyn]

I like my teeth just where they are. But I also like visibility. I got a half cage - plastic mask combo thing. I also had to get a visor for reffing games. Both are susceptible to scratches, no matter the marketing. And bring a cloth with you to wipe the moisture away. There are some good tricks to keep the moisture away. But that only works for about a game or two.

[@31stnminn]

I’ve always used the “fish Bowl “ it just made sense to me and it looked cool to people who didn’t know hockey well

[@miltownphenom]

Just made the switch from the cage to the fishbowl myself. World of difference in visibility for sure!

[@msanna4]

I thought about it but I'm still not sure. I sweat a lot so.... Do you have to wipe it after each shift or just in between periods ?

[@miltownphenom]

@msanna4 honestly haven't had to wipe it much all. Maybe once per game, and usually in the middle of the 3rd period

[@kidt3068]

I’ve had the cage and the fish bowl. The fish bowl is nice but you can cut some bars off the cage and it gives clear visibility. As if you’re not wearing anything at all. You have to cut the 2 bars on each side that are directly in line with your eyes. Cut the perpendicular bars that are in your eye site. It’s only a few

[@hockey_prodz1192]

@Nasher, use Bauer Fog free wipes with the fish bowl. I have had one for 2 years and it fogged up. Before my 20-21 season, I started using them before the game and after 3 games, I didn't fog up.

[@JoltIan3]

I grew up playing with a cage and reffing with the visor, constantly switching between the two and never noticed a difference really with my vision. Plus goalies wear a cage and have no problems.

[@rare2917]

Hockey reviews yay

[@peakadventures_]

I do have to paoint out (not sure if anyone else has) but the fish bowl did have a metal cage version at the bottom (i had one about 27yr ago). Oh and if you apply a good few amounts of shower gel (yes shower get) to the visor, plus some anti fog, you are good for hours worth of playing! just make sure you rub it in all over the visor (front,sides,top rim, inside, plus the bars (yes the bars,trust me it all adds up) then you'll be good to go. personal preference i still prefer to wear just the eye visor,least protective but it's what i prefer to wear
