ππ‘οΈ NO MORE CAGE HANG
FIT IT RIGHT! π‘οΈπ
A properly fitted cage is essential for player safety. Take a few minutes before hitting the ice to check the fit:
1οΈβ£ Position the helmet
Keep it level, with the front rim about one finger-width above the eyebrows. Make sure the helmet is snug and doesnβt rock or slide.
2οΈβ£ Fit the chin cup
Bring the cage down and position the chin centrally and snugly inside the cup.
3οΈβ£ Adjust the J-Clips THIS IS CRITICAL!
With the chin cup snug against the chin, adjust the J-clips so the cage wires sit properly in the clip grooves.
β Never turn the J-clips upside down for a looser fit.
4οΈβ£ Tighten the straps
Adjust the side straps so they pull the cage snugly against the face and fasten securely.
5οΈβ£ DO THE FIT TEST
π Mouth Test: Open wide. The helmet should pull down slightly onto the head.
π Shake Test: Shake your head side-to-side and up-and-down. The helmet, cage and forehead should move together - no slipping or wobbling!
β οΈ Still have cage hang?
If the chin slips out of the cup even with the J-clips and straps fully adjusted, the cage is likely too long. A shorter cage is needed. You can flip the cage hinge to move it up or down a slight bit, some have adjustable chins, then adjust the j clips to get as close as you can to the cage.
Take 30 seconds. Check the fit. Protect the player. ππ‘οΈ
