BV 2 S Skidoo Helmet...

I might have forgotten to mention another Christmas present I received (granted from myself) this holiday season. I have been checking it out for the last couple of times I have travelled home, and considered getting it- the Bombardier BV2S skidoo Helmet!

I've have never taken the plunge and bought it before now since up North we do not have any laws requiring the use of helmets. It really is a wonderfully freeing experience, the cool breeze (or warm in Springtime) whizzing past your face and that feeling of being really one with the environment. (Except for the one time I drove over some exposed ice and accidentally hit the brakes spinning sideways and bumping my head on the ice as the skidoo fell on it's side.)

So, with eager encouragement from my dad, I found the helmet at Tusket Motor Sports in my size and finally made the investment. Today was my first trail with it, and I have to say I was impressed with it's performance. I was weary that some condensation would build up from the extreme cold conditions outside but surprisingly the visor remained very clear. I was also incredibly surprised with how utterly warm my head and neck were. The wind cannot penetrate the hard outer surface, unlike with hats. My head therefore remained VERY toasty and comfortable, for the 2 hours I was out riding around. Just for reference, it was about -20 windchill today. And at the top of a few mountains along the trail, the wind was certainly stronger than that and likely colder as well.

I give the BV2S two thumbs up!
