Playing rec league years ago, I had always played with a full cage. I decided to go with a half visor to be one of the cool kids. Went to my local shop and it was a bit more expensive than I had planned so I figured I'd wait until the next week to buy it. That week, I took two pucks to the cage. I never did go back to buy the visor.

Nobody is making the Show from beer league, better to keep a full mouth of teeth.

I too play with a cage in a beer league. I'm used to the more limited visibility. I've seen too many horrors on the ice.

The puck has eyes of its own. It still seems to find my unprotected bits.

I wonder why the 50/50 ones (visor top with cage underneath) aren’t more popular? Juniors/Women I think are required to wear regular cages but for recreational players you’d think more would wear that type?

I got a used pro players helmet from my team for $20 after the season (they sell off all their gear to fans) which is great bargain for a really nice piece of equipment - but I wouldn’t dare playing games with it because it’s a visor obviously. I look like one of the cooler dads at the 4year olds’ skate practice though.

Because visors suck? They fog up and if they get wet you have to clean them.
