Hey guys i was wondering im going to be ordering a new hackva goalie mask im debationg on which to get a red cage a blue cage (royal) or a white cage along with a white helmet cuz i will be painting it soon after its recieved. I was just wondering if anyone had any feedback on cages only because ive never had any of these cage colors before but i want one now. Do any of these cages impare or improve on ice vision due to color?

If your mask fits correctly, the colour of your cage matters not.

I prefer light coloured cages over dark ones, and actualy I find polished stainless steel "dissapears" the best.
It is all personal preference but you will notice alot more white or silver cages than dark ones, and it isn't an accident or purely asthetics (though asthetics definately plays a big role in goalie gear)

Everyone has a preference. If they've only used a chrome cage, that's what they'll stick with. The polished stainless is good, because you don't get a glare. It does disappear fairly well.

I like a black cage, as long as it's a matte black. The glare from shiny powder coating bugs me and distracts me. Some NHL goalies have the inside of their cages done in white, so it disappears into the ice.

To each their own. One color or the other is not going to IMPROVE your vision. Certain cages can negatively impact certain people.
