Overview
The Bauer Concept 3 Full Shield is the next generation of one of the most-used full shields in hockey. Stemming back to the Itech Concept shields, this Bauer Concept 3 uses advanced technology to keep the wearer protected on the rink without sacrificing visibility. Bauer will offer a Splash Guard (2-pack) that helps catch droplets from sweating, coughing and sneezing during gameplay (sold separately here).
Protection is provided by a high-quality polycarbonate shield and frame that can withstand the most intense impacts in hockey. The interior is treated with an anti-fog coating, while the exterior is treated with an anti-scratch coating. The dual-density floating chin cup is another great feature, helping to ensure a secure fit and maintain a great comfort level.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I have been wearing a cage for the last 2-3 years. The first time on the ice with the new full shield I was amazed at how much better I could see the ice. I was worried about the cage fogging up but it never did. I did notice I get less airflow then the cage so it is slightly harder to breath but not enough to cause any issues.

Comments: Wow here I am writing yet another review! Well. I purchased this after wearing a visor all off season and not being able to transition into a cage. There was only one problem I've had with this and it would be fogging. But, I did find out Pledge works wonders! I spray it on and wipe it off with a cloth and it doesn't fog up as long as you don't wipe it with your hand or jersey. If need be you can carry a small towel on the bench but overall this is amazing! Ryan Foster 18AA

Comments: I am not sure if I was doing something different then all the other posts on here but this visor fogged up on me as soon as I started using it. smeared a couple drops of dish soap on it and it seemed to the trick. Great visor for vision once I got passed the fog issue. Would recommend buying some sort of spray or be ready to do some house hold work to prevent fog.

Comments: This puppy fogged up the first time I stepped off the ice and into the box. I ended up lifting it each time I went to the bench, but as soon as I lowered it, it fogged up. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SHIELD!! I will try a spray or rub, but I didn't think I would have to. I want my ZLeader shield back, but it broke. I had it for 10-12 years and never needed anything.

Comments: This is exactly what it is, a light, no fog, clear, easy maintenance, full face shield. Well worth the purchase.
From: Daniel, NY
Comments: I always hated the cage but I'm too young to use a half shield and this is a great substitute. It fits my bauer IMS 7.0 helmet very well and fits/feels great, not to mention it's very light. When I first got this I was afraid it was going to fog up in game but so far I have never had any trouble with fog or dirt. Great job bauer

Comments: When I first started to play i had the regular metal cage, then spent the extra money and got the titanium and thought that was the most amazing light weight shield ever. Then i bought this concept 3 shield. Its INCREDIBLE. The visibility is like you are wearing no shield at all. Very light weight and NO fog up what so ever. Highly recommend. Awesome!
From: Jeff H, Long Island, NY
Comments: Bought this from IW and this visor is amazing! I play twice a week and this visor never for once fog up. I used to have the half visor and half cage which was quite heavy. This is shield is a lot lighter and definitely a nice upgrade!
