Great idea. Thats always the weak point. Dont know if any folks on here saw todays temps. Its -18F at 1pm in St Michel, -14f at Shawinigan. Nasty cold. Today is one of those "test your helmet and shield" days that Im glad Im missing. SnomoGary and PLAYHARD 2 Quote
gkw Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 Rode with mikerider and Joe from RDL to St Pamphile last Thursday. Coldest day of the year. Started off at -10F and droppped to -19F soon when we got in the woods. I had my O2 helmet on high the entire trip. Was a little too warm in the sun at times, but zero fogging. Temp never got above zero. The tinted shield did fog a bit after a stop, but it cleared within 2-3 minutes. Pretty amazing. Joe had his on also and he says it is the best $600 he ever spent! Quote
182ray Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 They must not have had any test riders that wear glasses. I've worn the helmet for 6 days in temps from +25f to -25f the only way I could keep my glasses from fogging was to crack the shield. I didn't pay $600 to ride around with the shield cracked. The worst $600 I ever spent. Glenngo 1 Quote

SO SO SO happy. I got Lasik in Montreal in 2002 for the same reason. I use to wear contacts when I rode, but some days when it was super cold I could actually feel them getting crunchy. Best medical outcome ever. PLAYHARD 1 Quote

Farmerold wears glasses and he didn't have a problem and we rode in -15 temps.. He did say his glasses would fog for 1/2 mile and then clear up and be fine. When I turn the setting on high you can actually feel the heat inside the helmet. PLAYHARD 1 Quote
revct1 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Hi Ray. If that helmet is no good for you, save it and I'll try it on when we are up there. I don't wear glasses. You could have it sold for the right price. Jack & Sandi Quote

jimcb1 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 where is the heat comming from how does it work Quote

jimcb1 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 is there a fan that moves the air around Quote

gkw Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 Mr Gutz - are you sure there isn't some other heat source? It is hard to believe that the shield generates enough heat on its own to make the inside of the helmet that hot on the high setting. Quote

MrGutz Posted February 9, 2019 Author Report Posted February 9, 2019 Quick Update! Took the 3 O2s to the Dealer (PLT in Pittsfield, Ma), they knew about the Warranty Bulletin, Ordered 3 new shields, came in with a warranty explanation. Shields are not bad to replace, does take a bit of fiddling. No Rainbows in new shields, no separation out of the box. I'll let you know more once we ride again! Later GutZ Quote

Later GutZ So are these new and improved or just new replacements? I've had no issues yet, famous last words but curious to see if they actually have a fix Thanks Mike Quote
Mxzeerider Posted February 9, 2019 Report Posted February 9, 2019 This is the new and improved version from 2020 accessory catalog. It has a clear bottom portion as where previous shields weren't. That being said my 3rd shield is on back order Quote
smclelan Posted February 9, 2019 Report Posted February 9, 2019 I just replaced the power cord yesterday, and replaced the shield after my first trip. The helmet worked very well today. Quote
