    I've always wanted a fishbowl for a long time and after this review, I might consider trying to get one. I live in a relatively cold place (definitely not warm unless it's summer) and I don't think the fog will affect me so much. As you've said that the fishbowl provides clearer vision, I think that has hooked me. Great review lol. My friend has a fishbowl, maybe I'll ask him for his opinion

    I think the Bauer Concept 3 shield will improve my game. I just entered the A hockey tier and it would improve my on ice vison and plus its got some nasty stye. Something I don't have. I've also been playing and loving the sport of over 6 years and always have wanted one.

    Get a titanium wire cage; the wires are profiled such that the slim side is towards your face, makes a huge difference as it almost doesn't impair visibility yet provides all of the benefits of a true open cage.

    Very interesting. I play in Canada and in different arenas where most are not that cold, and one super cold, like freezing cold.
    The fogging issue only comes up in the freezing arena, but before each game I wiped anti-fog on the fishbowl, and it's absolutely not that bad and I don't even have a tower on the bench.
    In warmer arenas, I never get any fog at all. It's a strange contrast to where you live.
    I've been using the fishbowl for a good 8-9 years, vision is so much better that the cage.
    If you have a cage and you see great....no need to switch.

    I recently switched from a silver profile 3 cage to a CV1 bubble. My impressions after having used it a handful of times:
    First and foremost, I've had no fogging. I do live in the northern midwest though, so YMMV. Impressions from others seem to be that the CV1 doesn't fog, unlike the Concept 3. I haven't tried the C3, but I'm inclined to agree regarding the CV1.
    As you'd expect, vision is unobscured. With a cage, my brain quickly ignores the bars which blur out of focus. It's not terrible and you get used to it, but it was enough of an annoyance to be curious about how the bubble would compare. It's not groundbreaking. I haven't had to deal with any scratches yet but I'm assuming I'd ignore it like I would the even larger bars from a cage.
    I wouldn't say the bubble is hot, but rather, the wind in my face from using a cage is like having a nice luxury.
    Casual chit chat is a little more annoying now as I have to increase my volume a bit in order for others to hear me. No change in how well I'm able to hear others though.
    If I need to scratch my face above my mouth, I can't just poke through the bars since there aren't any.
    For me, I wouldn't say the change was so drastic that I'd never go back to using a cage. Not having to deal with any sharp metal corners ripping up my gear/bag (not really even an issue) is the only thing right now that makes prefer the bubble over the cage. I've been feeling a little more self conscious though about my ugly mug being easier for others to see. 😄

      ​@pajerhockey I used the CV1 for at least 6 months and went back to a cage for a month to compare. The bars were annoying knowing what visual clarity I can get with the bubble, so I'll be sticking with the CV1.

  • @milpitians5621
    @milpitians5621 Před rokem +1

    I actually found the biggest problem with fish bowls is that it is too hot. I sweat a lot, so when there is little ventilation, buckets start coming down when I take off my helmet. The fog issue was a problem at first. However, after I started using anti-fog wipes that you can purchase at REI, it wasn't too bad. The other anti-fog methods I tried were garbage. One wiping before a game lasted me the whole game. The fishbowl is a little heavy as well, but that's not a big problem. I was thinking about going back to the fish bowl just because of the improved visibility. Maybe if I win one, I will give it another shot. 😀

I think they are meant for ski goggles, but they worked well for my visor the last time I used a fishbowl face mask. That was over ten years ago, though. Hopefully, they haven't changed the formula.

    • @OGDonaldEngel
      @OGDonaldEngel Před rokem +1

      I’m a sweater and find the ventilation to be perfectly fine. Also doesn’t feel much heavier than a cage. The fogging does get annoying, though. I found Dawn dish soap works amazing for preventing it. I rub it on both sides, let it sit, then wipe it with a microfiber cloth.

  • @endurojimmy3109
    @endurojimmy3109 Před 10 měsíci

    I tried a visor once that someone gave me, it was old and scratched and it kept fogging up, so I went back to a cage.
    Since then the rink has had a major refurbishment, and people who wear both visors and fish bowls say that fogging is no longer an issue.
    So I guess it depends on how effective the air handling is where you are playing.
    Just a thought, that it may work in your rink, but maybe you could run into issues at an away game.

    @ericgreenwood7979 Před rokem

    You shouldn't add an anti-fog to your fishbowl or visor. The problem is, they already have anti-fog on them and if you add a new one, it breaks down the original causing it to fog. Simply rinse with water from the beginning and you will have no problems. If you want to add something, your spit actually works better than any anti-fog does.

    All the anti fog sprays and other special treatments wont help. Only thing that helps with fogging is soap water / shower gel rubbed into the shield. Thats how i ve been doing it in warmer conditions and of course if it gets too warm or some condensation starts building , its still going to fog.

      Trust me in some arenas in Quebec a fish bowl is unusable, after every shift the whole thing gets fogged up. Lasted 2 games (the vision is not a huge difference)

    Some players also feel the fishbowl is too hot in addition to the fogging has anyone else experienced that

    Visibility would be extremely better than the cage

    Hey man. I see on the fishbowl you have different clips to attach the fishbowl to the helmet. What clips did you use? I currently have a tacks 720 helmet with the Bauer fishbowl and the clips aren’t wide enough.

      If you are talking about the front brackets, there were two sets of clips in the package when I bought it.

    I'm in seattle, so cool, but still very humid, so I wonder how that would work here.
