So again, I ask, why would you not sell a helmet you would wear yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So again, I ask, why would you not sell a helmet you would wear yourself? Someone may be foolish enough to buy a used helmet. The seller can tell the buyer anything they want in order to make the sale. For all of the previously mentioned reasons I wouldn't buy a used helmet. God only knows the bacteria in there. Just think of the oils and sweat from the persons hair and all the moisture from their exhales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamatario Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I also will not buy a used helmet nor sell one. i will give it away, but with full understanding it is used. If you read the instructions on a helmet, even a 3ft drop can effect its protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoso Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I find it odd that anyone would not sell a helmet they themselves would wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have one that has been in the closet for about 10 years. There is in fact nothing wrong with it. Never been dropped etc. My wife used it 4 times then she got the BRP modular helmet simply because it was so much better. Regardless we won't be selling it. We would maybe loan it to one of our friends who wanted to try snowmobiling for a few hours. If I knew someone who was tight on funds and needed a helmet I would likely give it to them letting them know she always had a balaclava over her hair and how much it had been used then let them decide if they wanted it or not.

No fogging visor or need for a cord. UNWIND balaclava completes ensemble. Stock skidoo balaclava in box also works well ( just not as warm in neck area).

skidooboy Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 helmets have a life span, manufacturers suggest replacement every 5 years. most racing organizations, sled, bike, car, stick to the mfg date code, and DO NOT ALLOW RACERS TO WEAR A HELMET OLDER THAN 5 YEARS ON THE PRODUCTION DATE, NO MATTER WHAT THE PURCHASE DATE WAS. foam, padding, and shells break down, with or without use, from ozone, and uv. your results may vary. ask yourself what is your head worth.

Ski Paige and I are going to replace ours next season. Hate to admit mine has over 15 seasons on it, but I still fit my fat head in there and it feels and works great. Lots of scares too. It has saved me a few times. about 10 new heated shields and a few brims replaced also. Saw the magnetic coupler on the Oxygen coming from BRP and thought about how many RCA plugs I have ripped out. It is time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried talking to your dealer to see if they can offer a refund or alternative? You're taking quite a hot in cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out the Exhuast valve on mouth piece. That will solve your issue. leave valves in place on side of nose piece and make sure they seal. With centre valve gone you can easily exhaul the moisture. Should work for you. My dad has Bv2s. When we first got it, he fogged up right away. So we adjusted everything and sure enough fogged up again. I wore it for abit and it fogged up too. So then I removed the centre valve, works perfect now. If you aren't a heavy breather stupid centre valve doesn't open, so moisture goes back thru side valves and into helmet.
