$poorsledder$ 229 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Looking at getting a modular, what can you recommend? It's been a while since I bought one and there's a lot out there. Looking at FXR Fuel Modular Elite. Good......bad? Any other Recommendations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

$poorsledder$ 229 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 I did some research and talked to someone that has purchased several "high end" helmets and he agrees BRP is worth the price. Thanks for the input! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

$poorsledder$ 229 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Just noticed I never responded to this. This the helmet I ended up with. Not modular but I can open the front if I need a drink. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fun11cat 8 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) That's the helmet BVS I've been using for years they work very well. I don't even use the filters anymore, I just let the condensation run out the breather. Edited January 1 by fun11cat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DriftBusta 6,942 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I really like my Oxygen. Starting season 3 with it. The LED light on the back is awesome to follow in a snow storm, its heated and a lot lighter than the BV2s, which is also a great helmet. Wore one of those for a long time too.

Starting season 2 with my Oxygen. Its almost to hot. Have to have shield on to keep from fogging but then whole helmet gets warm. I am hot blooded anyway. My buds call me prime rib when we stop cause how red my face is. Never even had to wear a balaclava with that helmet yet. Hasn't been terrible cold though either. I had mod 2 helmet years ago and couldn't handle that suction cup on my face. Its not for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My only knock on the Oxygen, and maybe its because I got the first version of it, is that I have to have it set on 3 bars to keep the shield clear, and sometimes it can get warm in there, but only on days over say, 25 degrees F. I may just start wearing it without a balaclava on those days. I rigged up a velcro set up for the cord/heat adjuster, and have it stuck to my riser, so I can readily see it, without having to fumble around for it going down the trail.

I to have to keep it set to max. Did they change something on the later ones that you don't have to keep it on max? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the input! They are heavy . And you don't know how nice a carbon lid is until you put a modular back on for a day .

Doomxz600 125 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Just picked up a 509 Delta R4 today and was told not to get the R3. Fit is really good and in the next few days I will take it out. It has the drop tinted shield like my BRP has and the chin curtain is removable. That chin strap took a moment to get used to but I spent about an hour just messing with it and I'm good now. BRP never really fit me well an putting it on over my balaclava sucked and it was heavy all for a all day ride. After an hour my helmet was uncomfortable unlike say my Shoie but I still used it for four seasons. Put a hundred miles on a new HJC I have sitting and they are just to noisy. Time will tell if this one works for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fireball 440 2,394 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) I bought this Castle X Thunder3 helmet this year. The picture is dark and grainy and you can't see the vents. It's a polycarbonate shell and it's way lighter than my old Z1R that it's replacing. Haven't worn it on a ride yet. Edited January 27 by Fireball 440 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doomxz600 125 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Tried the 509 Delta R4 today without the visor, no complaints. Breath box air stayed out of the rest of the face area and my eyes never watered. It was my most comfortable helmet so far. The buckle is odd but I'm getting used to it. The chin curtain is something I didn't think I would like but do. I though it might be to warm as the day went on and thought about taking off the balaclava on the way home with temps in the mid 20's. At one point I thought the shield had quit but there was some fog that froze as soon as it landed on anything but once clear of it all was fine. Ran with the front vent open one click most of the day and did open the top one for a little bit to see how it works, bit cold on my bald spot LOL. Yep I like it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Snacks 17,039 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 She showed up today and it looks good...fairly versatile with two sets of goggles...one geared toward trail and the other toward backcountry/warmer weather riding.👍🏼 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
