The Oakley Modified Aviator Hockey Helmet Visor is perfect for the player who wants the aviator style without the aggressive middle cut. The modified version is 3/8" longer at the middle point for extended coverage and a sleeker design that won't sacrifice airflow.
Oakley's HDO (High Definition Optics) will keep your vision absolutely crystal clear and your depth perception with the puck accurate because it doesn't magnify objects or shift the puck from its true position. HDO is also highly impact-resistant and reinforced with Plutonite for better scratch resistance. An anti-fog treatment has been added as well that remains permanent throughout the visor's lifespan. The visor comes with hardware to mount onto your helmet as well as seven different colored stickers for a custom look on the rink.
