awful knawful 5,330 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Picked up a new Mission today. It was fucking cold last night. Had to have the GMax plugged in and it kept clear but I had a cold spot on my left cheek. I'm too fucking old and work too hard to be miserable when I'm supposed to be having fun. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then still had to ride his ass home to get a ride to ER I was riding without mine for a couple rides, cuz it was warm and just more comfortable. Then I thought the better of it last week and started wearing it again. Coming back into town last week after a full day, into a road crossing, big doe comes out of nowhere, and I stuff him straight on. He bounces off my hood, windshield comes flying off, plastic pieces everywhere. If I had made contact with my body and that deer it could have gone bad quickly. Glad I had my vest on. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got rid of my Oxygen after 3 seasons and bought one of those. So far so good in 500 miles, and had freezing rain conditions one day so I had to keep it plugged in, but it seems to stay clear normally without the cord which is good. That flimsy ass visor already snapped off and broke in 2 pieces, just moving it with my hand, not impressed with that part at all. I haven't been out in really cold weather yet though, so we'll see how it works when that day day comes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bud with bv2s had his fog, mine didn't. Nice helmet so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

End of season pricing you understand. 1 hour ago, Kivalo said: How did you like your oxygen helmet? Did you find it to be overly warm? I liked it when it worked right, but it started to act up in yr 2 and 3. Like take 15 minutes to warm up and clear out every morning, so first 15 minutes of the ride I'm fumbling with my 600 plus dollar helmet. Mine would only stay clear if I had it on 3 bars which was too warm on warm days. It was useless without the cord which I didn't like. I liked the light weight and visibility though. I sold it on ebay for 400 bucks and moved on. 23 minutes ago, Ez ryder said: None of the above .
