Sooooo how does it keep glasses from foggin up?

I bought the bv2s last year and that’s the best I’ve found so far for use with glasses. Got to get your breath routed out or you’re screwed. You can crack the shield also if it gets bad. I have to do that occasionally under certain conditions. The shield on the bv2s has a lip on it so even cracked it works great, it’s just a little louder. I have and HJS with a breath box also that works pretty good. I can’t wear contacts.

I’d still be wearing mine if this new one hadn’t come out, I loved it and even wore it off trailing.  I took a chance on this new one, hopefully it’s dialed in.  I was really happy with my bv2s but after 7-8 seasons, it was starting to give me trouble with the seal that goes along the top.  Glasses are always a challenge.  Temp changes and or room inside the helmet are often an issue.

You kept the same helmet for 8 yrs?

Yeah something like that.  Liners washable and I also went through an old Scorpion and 509 in that time.  Stick with what works I guess.  :bc:

Plugged in my new BRP Oxygen helmet today.  Rear led light is cool as hell, adjustable heat and venting, think I’m gonna like this thing!.  It’s way light too, way lighter than my BV2s.  Sled has a fresh drivetrain down to the hyfax and drive belt. Token pic for context.06F410F2-6A4E-4FC3-89D8-2A356513F17F.jpeg.093582e7c61e79f939696860ed246625.jpeg

So much lighter than the BVS2, supposed to keep the face warm too.

Picked up one of these at Fremont .   Hopefully it turns out decent .   Couldn't get a new shield for my current bucket and the thing had some nasty branch whips in it :bc:

My first thought was to connect the helmet to the battery since it's right in the back, but then the temperature control will be behind me, what do think Ron, front or rear connection?

No. Can't do a 1st year release. Working a deal now, I'm not going to say unless it goes thru. 

What are you looking at?

I bought my 3rd BVS2 two years ago, they are a great helmet. I hope this Oxygen is as good, it's lighter for sure but the real test is does it frost up.
