Very heavy- pulls the helmet down my face. Read more

I recently started playing in an adult league that requires a full face cage or visor. (I've been wearing a half shield for the last 10+ years.) This combo has good visibility, doesn't fog up and is easy to clean. I would prefer to just have the half shield but this is a great compromise. My only criticism is if/when the shield gets scratched or cracked, you can't just replace the shield since they don't make a replacement. For under $50 I would buy again. Read more

So this didn't have any reviews but I took a chance and bought it anyway. I have a Bauer IMS 5.0 Senior Helmet Size Large. This Hybrid Shield/Cage didn't come with any instructions but its pretty easy to figure out, though I couldn't get it to work at first and I'll explain why. The two Top hinge clips can be mounted two ways, Either pointing up or down. When I first mounted it I didn't realize that and mounted them up which is how it comes in the box and the chin strap wouldn't line up with my chin ( in was under it just by an inch or two ) so if I fell it would do some damage most likely. I was gonna return it then I went on pure hockey to look at Bauers Hybrid and they had a video showing how to mount. It was there where it showed it the top hinge clips either facing up or down and I opened the box back up took the hinge clips off and then set them back on facing down and boom, perfect fit! It comes with all the screws and clips you need but my helmet came with a cage originally, and the original Bauer side J clips that were already on there seemed to fit the width of the Shield better than what was provided with the helmet. I'm sure the ones they provided will still work but I didn't bother. I did adjust them by moving them higher up though. So far I've used for one game and it didn't fog at all, there is a little Parallax but its not very noticeable when in game and I would rather deal with that then the bars of a cage anyway so it works for me. I had zero rattling when skating as well as the cage fits snug on the helmet. Seems well made and it is not super heavy. If I come across any problems in the future I'll update this but so far so good and the price is hard to beat. Read more
