Title: helmets for atv
Post by: striperhound on Jun 26, 2021, 03:16 PM

what is everyone using for helmets on the ice?
Fully enclosed ones with face shield do they fog up in the cold?

I might be trying out a skully helmet, an XL one to fit over a ski mask. The full face helmet wreaks havoc on my glassses and I'm blind without them.

I have a UTV with a hard cab now, but I used to use an open face helmet with an anti fog face shield.

We don't need them in NH, "Live Free and Die" (with your head cracked on the ice)

I have a GIANT head and I wear a full face helmet. Like so large that I didn't know they made helmets that big.

 If we're going for a longer ride on the ice, I'll have the face shield down with the "goggle" part up about a quarter of an inch to remove any fog. If we're just moving a few hundred yards, I'll leave the face shield completely up.

i have snow mobile helmets, full face, one has a heated shield which I never use.

If i start to fog, I just crack the face shield and let the cold air do its thing.

I bought a motocross helmet for my daughter last year to ride out to my spots and it seemed to work ok. Her only complaint was its got her head cold.
