Snowmobile Helmets

[duckhuntrush]

I'm looking at getting a new helmet this year. Any recommendations?

[crispyknite]

If you went one that does not fog up, get one with A heat shield that you can plug into your sled.

[skidude67]

BRP Modular 2. Never fogs up. Hands down the best full face snowmobile helmet ever.

[polarisrider1]

a DOT sticker on the back is a nice feature to look for. What kind of riding do you do?

[juiceman29]

I agree with the BRP modular. By far the best helmet I have ever owned. I came from a helmet with an electric shield and they are nice but a pain in the a**

[duckhuntrush]

I do a lot of trail riding. I did have an electric wind shield but the chord kept getting in the way. I just want something that doesnt fog up

[zimmbob]

Go with an open face and goggles. No fogging, better sight lines, and you look cooler!

Seriously though, I used to wear a full face helmet, and changed over a couple years ago, and wouldn't ever go back. Granted, it's not as 'warm' as a full face, but if you have the right stuff underneath, it's all good.

BRP Modular 2. Open face way to cold for me on early morning rides. My .02

[jimmyj]

BRP Modulars are nice. Polaris AF-1 is good to and a different style. I have glasses and the AF-1 does the job well. Electric Shield cords can be a pain to deal with. The open face with goggles is cold and in my opinion is more geared for the extreme/ race riders. For trail riding, go with the AF-1 or BRP modular.

[dafuzz]

Are the BRP Modulars available without any BRP or SkiDoo markings? It seems like a really good helmet, but I sure don't want any of that brand being visible anywhere near me or my sled. I like the way the helmet fits and looks if it weren't for the markings, the dealer I visited only had helmets that had markings all over them.

Straight black I believe only has a brp symbol on the back. Small round emblem. I myself have always loved my Modular 1. Thought about upgrading to the 2 but haven't yet. Could care less what brand I ride will always wear that helmet.

[skidude67]

dafuzz,

The black Modular 2 helmet has a small BRP emblem on the front and back. You can pull them off if you are that turned off by it. For the record I see a lot of Yammi, Polaris and Cat riders with the Modular/BV2S helmets and as far as I can tell it doesn't affect the sleds performance.....to each their own

FYI, there are some killer deals on the Modular and BV2S helmets on eBay. Back in July, I picked up a brand new Mod 2 for $180 shipped.

[dafuzz]

As long as I can get the stickers off, I'd probably go for one. I'll do some searching on Ebay and find a deal.

I'd just be afraid that with the SkiDoo/BRP symbol that close to my sled, it'd start wearing off and my sled would start running like crap and breaking down, you know, usual SkiDoo stuff! Haha. I've never rode a SkiDoo newer than a 1971 Olympique, but that was a pile of crap, so I put all of them into that group. I'm sure new SkiDoos are fine, who knows, if I rode one, I'd probably get converted over from Poo, but I wouldn't want that to happen.

Yawn

[mjkaliszak]

I have 4 modulars and as of last year decided to wear my glasses. No Problems . I have a doo, a poo, and a foo. I think the helmet makes them faster ( LOL ). Seriously.... I looked into finding these helmets from the OEM which is Laser. They are out of Sweden I think. Those things must be made exclusively for BRP because Laser does not have anything like it on their website. That's what I found last year when I researched it.

[rocketman356]

couldnt GIVE me a brp mod helmet. Sno flies inside from gap in shield. Poo makes a great mod. hjc is now making a new mod check them out

[mjkaliszak]

Well I have to admit, they are windy.... but are night & day better than the old school helmets I owned up until they came out.

[rocketman356]

The 1 thing all those BRP Mod Helments advocates aren't telling is what they cost.All I know is that when I can buy a HJC CL-MAX Evolve Modular Helment that is warm ,comfortable,and doesn't fog for $189.00 that is what I'm going to buy.And BTW they come in XXXL 2 fit my big head. http://www.johndee.com/discuss/messages/6/117060.jpg

[miaferominka]

[saber1]

I have seen max helmets and max evolve modular helmets whats the difference between the 2 does one have an electric lens shield and how is the one without it perform. I am in the market for one and am with rocketman thats alot of money for the BRP helmet.

[rocketman356]

saber just google HJC snowmobile helments

[doofan1]

Rob&#39;s Perfomance in Johnson Creek WI was advertising BRP Modular for 189.00 at the Milwaukee Snow show. All I seen was silver may have other colors in stock. 920-699-3288

[muss]

So the helmet you like the best and is the best quality happens to be Ski Doo, But you are ashamed to wear the colors?
why? if it is the best one you have found? Maybe you should consider buying an Artic Cat or Polaris one then! he he

I just paid $199.00 for a BRP Modular 2 at the Milwaukee snowmobile show. It was through a dealer from Ohio that was set up at the show. Their web address is WWW.powersports360.com (http://WWW.powersports360.com). I don&#39;t know if they have the same deal on line but that was about the best deal I have found on a Mod 2.

POLARIS AF-1 HELMETS SPECIAL PURCHASE

AT KENS SPORTS 80 BUCKS bought 1 today
gonna give it a try -----black only

[polarisrider1]

I got my BRP modular at Novi show 2 yrs. ago for $225. It works great. I don&#39;t care it says Skidoo on it, it works. You have to use the panty liners and snorkel. I think alot of helmets are good except some people try to modify them and makes them worse. if it comes with certain parts use the parts. Think of your helmet as part of a system. Like Klim wear.

[lukester]

[Hoosier]

I bought an HCJ last year also and it works great. I bought the model that is Snell rated. I don&#39;t remember how much it was, but I don&#39;t think it was much more than $100.

I think most helmets work great until the visor starts to get scratched up with all the little hairline scratches that dull your sight line.

[weasel]

Get a Modular Best thing ever made. I wear glasses so I wanted a helmet that would not fog up, sure a heated shield would work but then my glasses would fog up. With a Modular I don&#39;t have to worry about that and I don&#39;t have to spend the high dollars for a heated shield. I love mine. Get one you will to.
