Overview
The Wargate Lower Face Shield Cage is the ultimate addition to your hockey helmet, providing exceptional lower-face protection against facial injuries while allowing for maximum visibility and ventilation. As the pace of the game is getting faster, facial protection is key but so is visibility.
Players usually have to sacrifice either their vision or breathability when installing full facial protection, but the Wargate Shield Cage works seamlessly with all certified visors like Wargate Oakley CCM Tour, and Alkali, however, the Cage can also be used on its own. This gives players the benefit of breathable steel cage protection for the chin and mouth with crystal clear visor protection for the nose and eyes.
Using your current visor and visor spacers, the cage comes equipped with additional hardware to perform the assembly. The visor and cage secure together, providing a fixed attachment so the protection stays put and impact is absorbed by the helmet. It's only compatible with senior-sized hockey helmets but the cage itself can either be compressed or extended according to your helmet width. Once installed, players can also adjust the cage vertically to dial in their coverage and comfort.

| Step 4 | Tighten the screws lightly to allow movement and repeat the procedure for the other side. |
