Face mask problems?

 In almost every level of hockey, players are required to wear some type of face protection. The protection can either be a face cage or a bubble screen. Growing up, I always wore a face cage and never a bubble. I had many teammates that have worn both throughout their careers. It all comes down to personal preference. Players elect to choose the face bubble because there are no metal wires obstructing their field of vision. As this is somewhat true, I have heard about a prominent problem regarding face bubbles. That problem would be that the face bubble would fog up quite frequently when the player starts to breathe heavily. It also starts to fog up when the player gets sweaty, causing condensation on the inner part of the bubble. Although this is not a huge issue, it can be an annoying one. I have come across a few solutions to this issue. One solution may be bringing a towel on the bench, and wipe the bubble down quite frequently while you are not skating. This provides a short fix, and you have to do it pretty often. Another solution may be buying a spray designed specifically for this issue. This spray is essentially an anti fog spray. It prevents condensation from building up inside along with fog from you sweating in a cold ice rink. You can find this product at most pro shops. It provides a solution for about 2 skates, meaning, you have to apply it every so often. Choosing a cage or a bubble is all preference, just know the problem and solutions that follow with the bubble.
