T bird Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 What do y’all have, wear and suggest? Currently have a BV2S. Recently started to fog up on me. If I can’t figure out the fogging issues I will be on the look for a new bucket. Any input would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Ckx Mission helmet, best I’ve ever had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreyboater Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Have same problem with BV2S, I think because face shape and hard breathing. Finally switched to Modular 3 never have any problem since, this year bought Oxygen didn't try yet so no reviews . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ox Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Wore out an old Lazer SN45 (disguised as a Ski-Doo helmet back in the 90's) I bought a new HJC and hated it as it gave me ice cream headaches! Started buying up all the old Lazers like my old one on E-bay ever since. I doo NOT recommend that you follow suit - unless you are looking for a different size than I take. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Have a 509 MX helmet & goggles. I really like the openness, field of vision, being able to hear more things and no wires. Been thinking that it might be time to get something new, but not in a hurry.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I’ll plug it in on the really cold days is to keep the neck curtain from freezing up. Rosseau Rd has the best prices on them. I picked up a new one this year and kept last years as a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T bird Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 I wore Mx style and goggles for years. Not sure I want to go back to that or not. I hate having a cord. However they are handy for those days when freezing/fogging up happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’m good for helmets for a couple years now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyr Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I wear an FXR MX helmet with breath guards and carry a couple of pairs of higher end 100% goggles. 1 pair is tinted and the other is clear. I can flip back and forth depending on the light conditions. I prefer this set up over anything after years of riding off ride bikes. MX helmets just "feel" better to me. When it is really cold, I have an HJC Adventure Style helmet with a heated shield that I really like and the best part was that I bought it on close out from Parts Canada for $150 + tax. Its a $350 helmet normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Both Mrs. Turbo Doo and myself are using the Doo Oxygen helmets. There was a bit of a learning curve to them, mainly a proper balaclava. But we both really like them alot. Awesome fit, comfort and a very wide field of vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure mx style helmets and goggles today are quite a bit better than 15-20yrs ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard lots of good things regarding the oxygen helmets. Especially from those like yourself that say they are great once you figure things out. What’s the deal on the balaclava? Also do they have to be plugged in all the time or only in certain conditions? I have friends that just purchased them as well but they haven’t been out to try them yet.

Jason T Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I bought a HJC cx1 and it is modular and comfortable, no electric shield though and I am a bit disappointed that while riding in warm weather (-2) water runs down the right side of the shield. Ill have to play with it but regret not just buying the mission helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btbt Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 X2 for the Mission. Only been out three times, so far shield stays clear/ Bought the electric shield, in case of freezing rain or heavy snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, you need to be plugged in all the time. For me, since i am a heavy breather, i need it on the highest setting. Both the Mrs and I bought decent Klim balaclavas that seem to control the moisture from your breath good. I also find sometimes leaving the shield cracked a little helps big time. The helmet is so good at aerodynamics that leaving it cracked a bit, you get a bit of airflow, but not any wind at all. The helmets very very quiet. Mrs. Turbo Doo nevers needs to crack hers, but she is a light breather. The helmet would be absolutely %100 perfect if it had one or 2 more vents. The entire sun glass area above your head is heated, so thats why sometimes i crack the shield, due in part of me needing to run it on high for my breathing style. But even after all that, i really like the helmet. Comfort, fit and visibility is top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Tim Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I have the CKX Tranz 1.5 AMS, very happy with it, poor mans Mission if you will. I had a leak develop last year they gave me a new helmet, rode a few times this year and it works really well, haven't had it plugged in yet. I looked seriously at a Mission but this was half the price and I spend enough on this sport as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I've been happy with a XXXL BRP Modular 3 Electric for the past 23,000 kms. The first thing I did was remove the breath evac mask system. I ride with the electric shield plugged in 99% of the time. The only issue seems to be that I have to tighten the visor side screws every couple of rides. I tried to like the Oxygen, but it's a full face helmet that made me feel claustrophobic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breath mask system is good. Still using my original modular from 1997. Replaced mask system a few times but it is very comfortable and never fogs up.

barberch Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) just doing some research on the Mission and came across a Canadian recall for Titan and Mission helmets. Just an FYI for those that have them and didnt know CKX brand Titan and Mission helmets manufactured between May 2016 and March 2020 https://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2020/73141r-eng.php Edited January 4, 2021 by barberch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
