    Hi everyone, Just read this via the OFSC email update: https://www.ofsc.on.ca/2020/11/20/ofsc-safeguards-trail-data/ I would love to know how the people managing the OFSC think it’s ok to block and monopolize this data.
  2. Just now, near MacTier on Lake Joseph.
  3. I only wear a balaclava with this helm when it’s really cold. The heated visor on the highest setting creates a lot of heat. I’m usually sweating in it. Maybe they recommend the balaclava to soak up the sweat?
  4. Good question. Wendy at The Cove made it sound like it was a recall but I would imagine they’ll only consider replacing it if the malfunction is visible.
  5. You'll definitely need a com with detachable mic/speakers to be able to wire it like @SalemRene did. I use a Sena and have ordered a new helmet mount for it so I can fish the wires in.
  6. I'll weigh in here... I have had all three (BV2S, MOD3, and just bought the Oxygen). I was in Sudbury two weekends ago for my first ride with the Oxygen. My first impressions were very good: It's light Huge field of view Very quiet, shockingly quiet actually It has built-in sound canceling earmuffs (they are velcro removable) which contributes to the quietness Highly usable with coms because of no mouth piece - mic is not muffled, and those sound cancelling earmuffs have foam cut-outs which you can install speakers inside of The magnetic cable connector is awesome compared to RCA connectors, and although I thought the inline visor remote control was gimmicky - the green light on it which indicates connectivity is awesome as I have had countless rides where I'm wondering if the shield is even being powered The sun visor is actually usable and resists fogging quite well. The rear light (I'm told) is great too for visibility behind you - and it's not battery powered It was very cold in Sudbury and blue sky sunny during the days we were there, so I got a good feel for the helmet. BRP has clearly put some solid engineering and thought into this thing. With all of that said though... on Day 2 there was condensation that had built up in between the two layers of the shield overnight. After riding all day with the heated shield on full, and the sun beating down on it, the condensation or some kind of streaking from it was still there and impossible to clean. It covered the entire shield and didn't block me from using it, but it did reduce visibility by about 30% which was annoying, especially considering the price. I took it back to The Cove in Muskoka where I bought it and they contacted BRP. They have apparently issued a service bulletin about it and they sent out a replacement shield. Hopefully the replacement shield solves the problem because I love the helmet. I'll report back next weekend after I get to try it out again.
  7. Oh perfect! I wasn’t sure if there was a path there. Thank you for the pics!
  8. Nice! Did you find a way to get the speaker/mic wires around the cloth apron attached to the opening of the helmet?
  9. Has anyone attempted to wire an Oxygen Helmet up with a communicator?
