Worth it, read why

This cage is amazing. It does not have the flat wires like some of the other higher visable cages, but the cage wires are failry thin, and at this point you're splitting hairs worrying about getting mm's off the wire circumference. Its insanely light (it's really hard to believe), you can barley feel it when you first hold the cage in your hand; it really makes you wonder if it can protect your face, feels like it might shatter because it's so light. But no, it's very strong, can hold up to anything. My only negative feedback is it's slightly too tight to fit up into the J Clips on the helmet, but just barley, it is tolerable enough, and will get better over time as your head, helmet, and cage adjusts. On a side note: you should wear a cage. Unless you played juniors and/or above, for a considerable amount of time and are really used to no cage, you have no reason to not wear a cage other than you're a tool bag who wants to look cool. I see about a half dozen idiots get their face smashed in during each season, and they all agree it's just not worth it. even if you have the best dental/health insurance in the world, reconstructive surgery is just not a fun process to go through. Again, every single guy I know, even guys who've just suffered from a few stiches, they all agree it's just not worth it.

does the job

These have been great - love the velcro for keeping my socks up. Have held up well through multiple seasons - good quality and does the job.
