just bought two new/used sleds for the family.
Any recommendations for helmets? What should I look for when buying?
Thanks
Over the past 30 years I’ve owned middle of the road helmets - HJC, Polaris, Bell, Arctic Cat etc, and had no complaints, all worked just fine for me.
Fast forward to last year and my wife purchased an Oxygen Helmet made by Ski-Do for me for Christmas. I have to say, I had absolutely no idea what a difference a really good helmet can make.
Super warm (3 heat settings), quiet, never fogs up, just an awesome helmet. I’m really glad that I received it as a gift, as there is no way I would have considered spending 550 (or anywhere near that) on a helmet, but now that I have one, I’d never go back!
Hard to believe that a helmet can completely change your ride, but it can - can’t say enough good things about it.
If your looking to stay middle of the road, I think HJC is one of the better brands.
DONT buy used helmets!!
Find out when there are snow shows/ swaps good deals there vs dealers.

Was at one this wknd in Eagle River. $99 for a helmet. Good price for starters.
Do not buy anything with single shield, make sure its double.
