Wargate Hockey Lower Face Shield Cage (Adult Hockey Helmet Visor & Mask Accessory)

This is an awesome matchup for shield cage combo. I was warned by an official at my game tonight that this cage breaks a USA hockey rule for cage shield. He wasn’t officially sure and took a picture of it and I’ve asked the question to Wargate if these are approved by USA Hockey.

Don't know how it took so long for someone to release a product like this. You don't see much innovation in hockey outside of skates and sticks. This is everything I want in a mask. I hated the loss in visibility from a full cage, but also didn't like any of the hybrid masks I tried. They offer little to no flexibility, so if the built in visor wasn't what you were looking for, too bad. With the Wargate lower cage you can pick whatever shield you want and get the shield that matches your needs and budget. Field of view is incredible and yet I dont have to worry about getting my teeth knocked out or my face sliced open. If I was an NHL player getting banged around I might worry about the cage getting bumped around, but for beer league with minimal contact it is more than enough protection from contact while also keeping my face and teeth completely safe. Played my first game without a chin cup, may try next game with one just to see what works. Without was fine, but mentally I was looking for the chin cup the entire game, and i worry a little about taking a hit and having the metal cage smash into my chin.Cons - was a little tricky to install, but only about 10% harder than just installing a visor on its own would be. Just a lot of loose screws and other parts to hold all together at once while getting it put on. I ended up using my wife as a 2nd set of hands. Not sure I could have done it all myself. It's also a bit pricey for what it is (a wire half cage) at $80, but it got me to the result I wanted and there aren't any better options out there.

I really like the idea of this. Iv been debating on buying it for a while now but the price is what made me take so long to purchase. Still glad I did but just don’t see why it’s a hundred bucks. I have 130 in a visor and this piece on a 60 dollar helmet at the end of the day.

This cage in combination with the visor are amazing. It's nice to feel fully protected, while having unparalleled visibility. I never have a problem with the visor fogging up and it's always nice and clear, I can breathe and I can see. Amazing product!

Caught a soft flip in the chin a few weeks ago... I've always hated a full cage since my youth days. Fishbowls fog way too much. I just needed something to protect the pearly whites and not get in my way too much. This thing has been great. It's light enough where I don't even notice it on the bucket. Caught a clapper off the face (which likely would have at a minimum popped a chicklet or two out, if not broke my jaw, and thankfully, I had this lower cage on to protect me. It took it like a champ.

This is honestly, the best thing to get if you want to use your visor and still have Lower face protection. I played with it, and it didn't get in the way or anything. I would honestly go with this instead of a hybrid because of the flexibility you have with the visor, not to mention if the visor breaks or cracks, you can just get a new visor Of your choice. Taking the helmet off is super easy as you only have to unbuckle the bottom strap and not two like with a cage. It was super easy to install and it doesn't Come loose easily. The only Negative thing I would say about this Is that it sticks out a little far, and It doesn't sit flush with the visor.

This is a great facemask. I have always played with a visor because I don't like trying to see through the full face cage. But since everyone usually has the full face shield, people get a little lazy and sticks get up. More protection is needed. The full plastic face shield is unwearable because it fogs up quickly and then has zero visibility. The one piece combo that has a plastic visor and a metal cage for the mouth are usually pretty heavy. So this ingenious half mask is the perfect solution! It fits with an existing visor, giving me the visibility I want while providing me the protection I need to avoid costly dental work! Great product. Highly recommend!
