I SWITCHED FROM A HOCKEY CAGE TO A FISHBOWL FOR 6 MONTHS (Bauer Concept 3 review)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- I used a fishbowl the last 6 months, this is my review of the Bauer Concept 3 full face shield visor, all under 5 minutes.
After making the switch to the Bauer Concept 3 6 months ago I found that this Fishbowl has some major upsides, but also, major downsides. So, here are some things to keep in mind when considering making the change from cage to fishbowl based on my usage over the last 6 months. I will then reveal if I will be sticking with the fishbowl or going back to a cage at the end of the video.
Many hockey players use the “Fishbowl” style face mask when they have to wear some kind of face protection. This is true from the Youth level up to levels that are just steps away from the NHL. Recently, we could even see NHL prospect Connor Bedard wearing a Bauer Concept 3 during international play. So, this review is set to help you decide whether or not the fishbowl is right for you!

How long did the anti fog spray last before you had to re-apply?
Thanks for this. I'm using a half shield for coaching and just got back into playing. Had a couple close calls lately so I'm reviewing the options again.
Nice quick and concise review! That’s exactly the information I was looking for.
Thank you! I live in Florida and could not figure out why mine was so foggy. I also sweat a lot. So this video put things into perspective. Appreciate it!
Appreciate the review especially regarding the different climates having an impact.
Fishbowls are awesome, love the clear vision without the bars from the cage. Thanks for the video!
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
Thanks for the review. I'm in Dallas so your comment about fog and southern climates resonates. I've been unhappy with a cage so I'm going to give the "fishbowl" a try!!
I've heard the sweat is also an issue with fishbowls, but being in the midwest, the fogging might affect as well. Thanks for the heads up! I'd love to try one someday.
I have really been thinking about the switch over to a bowl from my cage. I do not want a visor yet just because of the risks with it. This video really helped me with that decision. I think the bowl will definitely help with my vision. Keep up the great vids!
Once you've helped pick up another player's teeth around a face off circle, you're not going with a visor.
I think i will try the full visor after your video ! Cant wait !
Thinking about getting one for my son. Thanks for review.
I live in NY and I can’t stop the fog. Thinking of switching to the cage because of this video. Thank you!
I play high school hockey and my season just ended. I am deciding between a cage and a fishbowl. It would be so much better to have better vision on the ice. Also, this video really helped thank you!
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.
As a playmaker it would benefit my vision a lot! great vid!!
Good video! Love my fishbowl, but I definitely understand what your talking about with the plastic fogging up.
Great video on the cage vs fish bowl
I haven’t ran one in a long time! But loved it when I did! Want to do it again!
Considering switching from cage to fish bowl. Also considering the hybrid. Thx for the vid!
I found mine fogged up too much and didn't flow enough air. The Boulder Hockey Shield Zero Plus cage is what I use now. Smaller clear plastic visor and flows air nicely.
Thanks for sharing, thinking of getting a hybrid out here in Toronto
I live in NC and use a fishbowl with Rainex Antifog. So far works well, but we will see once it gets more humid.
Hey man have you ever tried the Ccm fv1 I see you have a Ccm bucket and based on what I’ve seen Bauer fogs more and the air ventilation is better in fv1 just wanted to let you know. It could help my game because better clarity of the puck and it looks like there is basically nothing so nothing is ruining your vision
I’ve heard great things of this thing. It would be a great upgrade I just got back into hockey myself now as an adult and just rocking some old visor from the mid to early 2000s so the upgrade I could use lol.
I love youre videos keep up the good work
Nice review. Thinking about making a switch from cage to the fishbowl. Value my face and teeth too much for a visor.
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.
That is very interesting! Definitely different from my experience, but good to know that there are positive experiences in warmer areas.
This will help me improve my visual of the puck, also keep my head up. This would be a big help.
Would love to try this out. Thanks for the opportunity.
Good review. Thanks
No problem, thank you for watching!
Looks great! I may get one
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.
As a canadian hockey player, im looking for a fishbowl visor and I would like to give you my perspective on "colder winter".
I have used the bauer concept 3 face shield for over a year now. I have used a drop of shampoo to clean and help out with the fogging that can occur
I've had my fishbowl for 5 months now, I play d1 high school hockey, and the best method for anti-fog is to wash the fishbowl with shampoo and once you rinse off the shampoo your fishbowls should never fog up
That is why I got a hybrid cage with visor having a notch around the nose and cage with holes above the visor. Zero fogging at all thanks to good air circulation.
VERY good point. I have not seen one of those in a while, thank you for the suggestion!!
@@pajerhockey Mine is from bosport but I saw fischer, hejduk and many other companies making the exact same model. Two of my teammates also decided to pull the trigger on them.
I play with a hybrid and it seems to be a decent compromise, the increased ventilation on the bottom half seems to vent out out my breathe while getting the visibility around my eyes. I'd say it's a happy midpoint.
I'm 36 and have been skating with a cage since I was 7. I'm not sure how much it will improve my game, but I'd like to see!
Great cage! I have been using for a month
Great review! Just broke my jaw wearing the half visor so now I’m figuring out which I want to switch to (honestly because the wife is pressuring me to protect my face). 😂
Sorry to hear that! I went through something similar when I lost my front two teeth from a stick while wearing a visor. My wife says I have to wear a full face shield now haha. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
Im 34 years old and just starting playing hockey after wanting to since i was little. On the fence about a fish bowl still. Currently rocking a cage but too scared to use just a visor.
Thanks for the review. I live in a cold AND humid climate so probably would get fogged anyway
Go for the hybrid cage. Plastic visor and cage lower is the best set-up I've had
Always been interested in trying something other than a cage
I would love try Bauer Concept 3
It would help see the puck better and I won’t have to switch to contacts as much and since I live in a very cold climate I feel it would be good for me
I live in Canada and mine was also fogging a lot after a couple months using it so I went back to my half visor. I haven’t tried it but I’ve heard that using shampoo or body wash does prevent it from fogging though.
Unscented pledge is the only thing I know of that seems to work for anti-fogging.
Cheers. I live in moderate climate and was considering it. The price is what deters me from buing a fishbowl.
I'm just getting into hockey I have bought a helmet with no mask so I'm currently looking for a mask for my helmet. I've always liked the fishbowl style so I have better vision and can focus on my stick handling, With you saying that it would be better in cold climates it seems like a perfect option for me living in Chicago! Thank you for the informative video I think I have made up my mind on which type of mask I want. "Edit: Verified"

@@pajerhockey wow thank you! I'm looking at your profile and I cant find a Email.
@@pajerhockey I found it sending email now!
I had to switch from a half visor to a bird cage after getting a puck to the jibs 10 years ago. I could barely handle the fog on my half visor, my face emanates too much heat. Couldn’t imagine what a fish bowl would do
I’m curious to see if the improve visibility will up my game.
they are also front heavy. some people may notice some serious strain on the neck from the weight of the bowl. it pulls to the front with some force. drove me nuts.
I don't know if I would change as I really never tried one and when I'm playing I really don't notice the bars..if I get better vision , that could improve my game
Been using a visor for the last year since I aged out of minor hockey. Always hated the cage so switched to a visor as soon as I could but with a couple close calls would love to try the bubble.

I’ve always wanted to try a fishbowl, I wonder if the ccm one is better ?
Seeing the biscuit better (when it isn't foggy) can only help my D- game.
Really been trying to save up for a fish bowl the cage really messes with my vision I play roller hockey down in Tucson,az so I don’t think fogging would be an issue for me with how dry it is all the time
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. 😄
Thank you for this! Very informative. I may have to try the CV1.
@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.
No issues with fogging.
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.
Does it have an impact if I sweat a lot?
I live in Montreal also.
hello i used to play with a visor but then i keep taking my hand off my stick when blocking shots to cover my face, im back in my cage but missing the vis of the visor, pls i want the best of both worlds agian xxx
LET ME WIN!!! lol I'm getting one anyways, nice vid and thanks for the info!
I wear glasses and the fishbowl fogs my glasses long before the bubble fogs up. I switch to the Ronin MK5X hybrid. Haven’t had a fog issue since.
What league are you playing in where you are getting multiple sticks and pucks to the face?
I live in the south so I’d love to see how the anti fog works down here.
I’m trying to decide if I should make the switch
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. 😀
Thank you for that information! I may go pick up some of those REI wipes and give those a try.
@@pajerhockey Just make sure you get the wipes from REI. I tried a bunch of other stuff from different companies. Nothing worked like the wipes at REI. 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.
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.
I totally prefer the visor over the cage, the fog is an issue though.. Sometimes at the end of the practice I just cant see anything at all. The cage is like a prison with bars infront of my face, dont like that at all.
Use suave shampoo! Best trick for the anti fog. We live in Southern California and my son can use the fish bowl!
Wow I’m surprised after all these years they still can’t make clear face shields that don’t fog. I remember playing minor hockey trying one and quickly returning to a cage.
Thank god I’m an adult now and don’t have to wear either, I’d rather have increased access to my vision. So my face gets beat up a little…..it’s hockey.
I’m 14, I’ve always wanted to try a fishbowl but I never have managed to find the money to get one. I also want one because I tend to have my vision blurred by a cage and it becomes hard to see on the ice. Any chance I can get one of these giveaways?
Great video really motivated me to buy one but rigut i dont have the finances for that 😂😂😢
I've played street hockey I never used helmets padding or any protective gear
I just got a fish bowl and i have not tried it yet, I live in Canada so i think i wont get issues with this
I got a skydiving helmet from Bonehead and it's literally impossible to fog - I tried hard just huffing inside of it and it simply would not fog.
No idea how they did it but that's something to look into.
Thank you for that! I will look into it.
MY son plays triple A travel ice on the Atlanta fire and his birthday is coming up and he has been asking for an fishbowl everyday when comes home from school
Dang. I’ve been contemplating a fishbowl for a bit but I don’t want to spend $80 on something I might hate.. I play ODR fundraiser tournies mostly
The fishbowl looks like a great alternative to the old cage.
But did you try shampoo every game on it?
My son has been thinking about switching from the cage to see it would benefit him
It would probably help my vision because i dont have the best eyes and a cage Is a no for me, but i have not yet bought a full visor and i would love to get it.

@@pajerhockey hello! I send you a messege in instagram and proof. I cant to fin your email anywhere in your yt channel
Switched from a half shield to a fishbowl after taking another half dozen stitches under my eye. The thing is awesome. Better visibility than a half shield...no line like on the edge of the half shield. It is a little warm but I play in cold rink so not very noticeable. Has never fogged up. The only drawback I found is it blocks your voice when communicating with teammates.
Nice very cool
great video i been looking for fishbowl reviews ! thanks man. hope to win a giveaway 🎉
I live in Finland, it's winter time, and my damn full face visor will still fog up after fucking 6 coats of anti fog buffed on it... I just quit... going back to cage.
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.
so i can see more area on the ice
when i play
thanks if i win
Have you tried the fishbowl with a cage on the lower half?
For me the fishbowls are because of the vision. Even if it fogs up I don’t mind and just keep playing.
Sorry i meant to say better😅
I hate mine. Vision is great but the increased sweating, fog, and water drips on the inside from the sweat were all too many downsides. Got tired of spending all my time on the bench wiping it.
Living in Finland the fog wouldnt be the biggest problem. Would love to have one so i could see better on the ice
Nice video
Thank you!
I have trouble seeing the puck and the lines in the cage bother me
I am a 14 y/o boy that play hockey at a high level and i think it could help me have a better game vision due to better visibility and I live in Quebec so it is fairly cold for the 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)
My son will give the Concept 3 a try.
where i live men either wear a visor or open bucket
