Signfan Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) https://www.connexionao.ca/Welcome.H.htm Anyone on here running these? How do they work? Any issues with them coming apart while riding? I see ski-doo just came out with a similar product that incorporates the heated visor cord and tether all in one. It's not compatible with rev-xs sleds though, so this looks to be a good 2nd best for anyone not riding a g4 rev. Just looking for folks experience with this product good or bad.

smclelan Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Saw a set of these last winter, I think they are a great option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hparaptor Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Wow. Great idea. Price makes it a bit expensive for a nice to have item. Will check it out next time I'm in the area of a shop that sells them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towing Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I don't want to bash this new product but I heard too many bad comments last season not to mention it. The idea is great but the product does not seems to fill the promise yet. The first version sold last fall was poor quality and they came with a version #2 with a free exchange program for the version #1 buyers (which is great) but from the comments I read, the version #2 is not perfect yet. Poor contact, disconnect too easily and broken wires are the comments I have heard. Maybe they will come with a #3 version that will be more reliable...

iceman Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 What Alain says is true. I heard all the same things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hparaptor Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Too bad they are questionable. Seems like a really good idea. Perhaps version 3 may work better. It's a tough decision. Larger magnet has more weight increasing fatigue at connecting areas. Smaller magnet has less force causing it to disconnect. Maybe change choice of magnet?

EastMark Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Great idea. Almost worth the price...wow. Yeah, Id buy one of these overpriced devices for each of our sleds...if it worked perfect. Helpful real world info here at QR as always. Stay safe. Help to Flatten The Fear. See you guys in January !

Signfan Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Well I'm disappointed, but happy to hear the truth. I was buying these for both our sleds, but will hold off for now. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know skidoo this year is offering a similiar device, kinda like the one on the oxygen helmet and it incorporates the tether. ( But will only work on Doo ) I'll see if I can find the video and post it. GutZ Edited May 26, 2020 by MrGutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signfan Posted May 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Yeah it is better. But only available on g4 rev's. Not much good for the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, In all fairness Ski-doo did stand behind their product with free replacements. It's by far the best helmet I've ever owned. No intention of switching to anything else anytime soon.

NSHM Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 These guys are also offering free replacements......But...Not much help in the middle of a trip when you need it then and there. Hopefully they get the bugs worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
