Well, if that was to happen, it be pretty interesting, considering so many players don't like visors.

The Bauer 9900 is similar in weight to the Itech Ti, and the flat bars supposedly help with vision.
The one downside to playing with a cage, its next to impossible to draw highsticking penalties. I've been whacked multiple times and it usually goes undetected. If you go down holding your face after getting sticked in the cage, its really just a dive. Small price to pay to keep your face intact though, especially teeth.

I don't see the Itech Ti on Cylone's or THS websites. I do see the Bauer 9900 though. I'll need to go and try them on cause cages are generally too big for my face, hence why I switched to a visor. As for drawing penalties, ref's are never on my side for that. I pretty much need to be injured like this to draw a penalty and sometimes I still don't draw one.
