I'm on the fence about going back to a cage after a few near misses with a visor on.  More concerned about my eyes than me teeth, quite frankly.

 

Anyone have a recommendation that fits a Bauer 4500 comfortably and doesn't look like trash?  (I'm not a fan of the Bauer RBE III that Auston Matthews wore with team USA.)

 

 

Also. I already know the Jofa bubble wins for style.  But I digress...

I've previously used the Re-Akt cage with a 4500. Tried other cages but prefer the Re-Akt because it is very lightweight.

REAkt or Bauer 7500

I use the Profile II oreo cage (albeit with a Tacks 710) and love it. It should fit nicely on the 4500.

I used a Profile II (in gray) for years, but recently switched to the Reakt. The Reakt is crazy light which I do feel makes a difference and the titanium color is basically what I'm used to so no change there. Only complaint is the Reakt cage is shorter in length than the Profile cage so I had to go up a size so I could get a bit of movement under my jaw to yell.

 

I've heard the CCM fitlite cages were longer than Reakt and nearly as light so I continue to be on the hunt for one since they've been discontinued.

CCM 480, 580 and 680 or Bauer Profile 2 are the only acceptable answers here.

I really like the White CCM 680s that I put on my 3DS helmets after I lost a tooth to a high-stick.

The posts in this topic have really made me realize that nice gear doesn’t equate to good style. Yeesh.

Agree with this.

Stick with the visor, maybe if you were missing a few teeth, the Mrs would let you slip one through the crease... weren't you guys trying to expand the family ?

As someone who used a Reakt and switched to a Fitlite Titanium, I can confirm that the Fitlite is both longer and wider in the same size, also has flat bars and is almost as light. I also think the Fitlite looks a little better, but that's subjective.

You got me there Frank - I left it off the list since I assume any that are still left in the wild would require the wearer to eat rust all game haha.
