Well, my beloved snowmobile helmet finally died I'm looking for another one. Got lucky on my first one and it was great! Wondering what are some good brands to go with? Definitely looking for a modular unit w/ a good breath deflector (doesn't have to be build-in), and an eye shield that doesn't leak much (VERY LITTLE) air. Found this one below on Sledup.com any thoughts on it or other good ones? Thanks!

Can't go wrong with a BRP Modular 2. If u look around u should be able to find for around $200. Lightweight, good range of vision & never fogs up. Had mine for 2+ years & love it.

Mrs. Russholio here.... I have a BV2S helmet. It's airtight, comfortable to wear and rarely fogs up. Russholio got mine used so we didn't pay as much for it as it would have been new. I like that it has a tinted sun visor that slides down when it's super sunny and I like that I can pull the breath deflector away from my face when we're stopped so I don't get claustrophobic.

Oh and it's warm too!

OK! Thanks for the great ideas, I have looked at the G-Max but just didn't know enough about it. I will definitely take another look. Thanks again everyone! :)

Mrs Russholio, that does look pretty sweet. I'll be honest, I'd never seen one before, very cool! Thanks for the introduction!

Wife and I both bought G Max last year and could not be happier. Warm, light weight, electric shield, built in sun visor, safety light on the back of the helmet, and a great price.

Another two votes for G-Max from my wife and I. We traded our BRP mods that just weren't working out for us. Sometimes simpler is better.

When I buy a helmet I have to go to the store and try on about 10 different models before I get one that is perfect. I cant tell you how many times people come in on their first ride with a helmet they bought cheap off the internet and end up buying something else that actually fits. Just remember too, that cheap-o internet find may be the only thing between your head and something very hard.

actually this is what im trying to say:
