With a 4vyear warranty why not return? Cannot imagine getting frostbite with mine.

No air leaks in mine at all.

The mission comes with 4 year warranty??

Tried mine only a couple days last season and it was good. Just used it for 4 day in temps of -20c to -27c everyday without plugging it in once. Got a little fogging in the upper top corners on each side (nowhere near my field of view) but it went away within the first 5 mins of riding. I was warm while riding with my Brp ultimate balaclava in these temps. I will agree about the sun visor being pretty much useless, worked for a bit on the first day but following day was all fogged up and not usable. Not sure if I plugged it in, if the heat off the shield would clear the sun visor fog?? May give it a try next time I encounter the issue. Perhaps some others can comment if any difference made here??

 

[mooser15etec]

Wasn’t there an update on them, did you get it done
Have you tried opening front vents?

I just bought one from Rosseau as well, so far with limited use, seems to work great.
I bought heated shield but no plans to use unless needed.
Only thing I don’t like is the skirt, the Velcro sticks to my jacket, but I think I can remove it.

Do they have many in stock? And do they come with heated visor or is it a add on? Also I've heard guys say warranty how much comes with it & do they actually honor it?

My sun visor fogs in those temps too.


Never tried to use it to clear the sun visor but the one time I've had it plugged in I could certainly feel the heat radiating on my face.

Give Bill a call - I never asked about stock, just if they had a large or XL matte black with e-shield in stock, which they did so drove there and purchased.
Heated or not heated are two options to pick from (as well colours and carbon or not) - I think about $100 delta if I am not mistaken for heated shield.

Thank you, I'll give Bill a call tomorrow see if they have any in stock. My BVS2 is needing a new visor again they don't seem to last anymore, cheap quality. Time for a change and the Mission definitely looks like the one to try. 👍

After reading some of the info on this post, I called them at the Parry Sound location, they had quite a few in stock, so I stopped by this afternoon and grabbed a Matte Black w/ Electric shield. Price was $599 which is $100 less then the ckx website. Tried it out this evening, -28°c no cord and worked great! I feel it's going to be a comfortable and warm helmet

Well, I have the Mission Carbon nonheated shield and my brother has the O2. It was cold this past weekend -27F and -15F to start on Friday and Saturday. I had zero problems with my Mission I can't say the same for his O2 he couldn't run it on the max setting it keep shutting off so his glasses keep fogging. He is less than impressed with it before you ask this is his second season with it all be it we dint encounter temps like this last year. This Mission is the best helmet I have ever used. I have had the original Modular great helmet for its time then I had the second-gen before they started calling them the Mod 2 then a BVs since 2015. I can't say enough good things about the CKX Mission!

I saw this earlier, sounds awesome!
As far as Snell rated,my BV2S obviously isn’t, and it works great, but I’d hate to get in the slightest of accident with it. It’s the biggest pile I’ve ever put on my head! It makes HJC feel like a Troy Lee it’s so bad fitting and cheap, but again, it works.

Folks: I read up on this helmet and wow. Well engineered. Wish I had read more about it before I bought my Oxygen helmet.

But... After reading how this wonderful helmet works, I took the nose piece from my trusty GMax 54S and fitted it to my Oxygen. And again, wow. I ended up removing the silly breath diverter in the Oxygen and ran with just the nose piece from the GMax. The fogging when I pulled to a stop ended. I was able to run with the visor on the first setting, not the third. The visor did not end up with a coating of condensed water, and the sun screen also stayed clear. I am going to do more work perfecting the new nose piece, but if my first attempt is an indication, going to love it. Probably not as much as the Mission. But, already own the Oxygen.

When I get it perfected, I'll post it on a second tread. And apologize in advance for diverting this tread, but thought it appropriate to contribute that the Mission technology works, really works.

Snell testing is geared toward racing automobiles. The test includes multiple hard hits in the same spot to replicate hitting a roll bar. This results in a helmet that is too “hard” and transmits impacts typically found in motorcycle and snowmobile crashes more directly. The DOT test is more applicable to snowmobile applications in my opinion. The lack of a Snell rating is not consequential, at least to me.

That's actually not correct. If that's the case, then manufacturers of sled/bike purpose helmets (including CKX's Mission) would not submit their helmets to Snell (and pay) for evaluation. The "M" in the certification stands for Motorcycle. Snell has standards for bikes, cars, equestrian, etc. They are not approving bike/sled helmets to automobile racing/rollbar impact standards - that is simply false. They are simply higher standards.

You're also confusing hardness with strength. Helmets are all about the one time energy absorption. The DOT testing is a bit of a well known joke, as some really crappy helmets pass the test.

As they used to say - if you have a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet. Lol. Let's remember what a helmet's primary function is. Too many people are swayed by gizmos, graphics, etc.

Again, not knocking the Mission; it's a nice looking helmet with cool gadgets. But calling a helmet "the greatest ever" that can't pass a Snell test, is a bit of a stretch.

I just bought a non-heated Mission after reading the reviews here.

I wear glasses and the only thing that semi worked for me was a motocross helmet and goggles, but my glasses would still fog if not moving. That combination was also pretty bad below +5°F as cold air would find its way around the goggles.

Now, after a 150 mile ride with the Mission, I'm really happy. In today's temps (3° to 23°F) there was almost zero fogging, glasses and shield. There was only very minor fogging when putting on a cold helmet after a stop but that's really being nitpicky and was almost unnoticeable. The little that was there cleared up in a quarter mile or so. No fogging at all on the sunscreen. I had worn a light weight balaclava throughout.

The helmet is a little quieter than my motocross combo and comfortably warm at speed - no drafts. No fogging during stops or need to lift the face shield.

I might still might convert it to a heated shield in case I run into freezing precipitation. That model wasn't available at the time of purchase so I went with the unheated version, which will probably be fine 99% of the time.

I wish I would have had this helmet decades ago. Worth every penny.

I think this is going to be my next helmet.

No I am not sponsored or otherwise. But I recently grabbed a CKX Mission helmet from Rosseau Road in Port Sydney and holy ****, it is the best thing ever, so I thought I'd rant about that for a second.

I came from a combo MX / Goggle setup which worked really well...or so I thought. The mission isn't cheap but it does EVERYTHING better. If you're in the market for a helmet, get one. I legitimately can't imagine there's a better helmet out there. Here's why:

• It doesn't fog. EVER. -20, out of breathe and dripping with sweat from digging your sled out, with not even a hint of motion to provide airflow? Doesn't matter. Doesn't fog. It's insane how good it is.
• It's so bloody warm. There is ZERO wind or airflow interference. I no longer ride with my balaclava, even on railbeds at -20...just a thin neck warmer. Between the various skirts that velcro up and my jacket, no wind gets in at all. This makes a HUGE difference in reducing fatigue on longer rides.
• For almost the exact same reason as above, it's quiet. Most people may not care...but it makes a big difference for three reasons. One, it's less mentally tiring when you're riding 6-8 hours a day. Two, it's way easier to hear your music. Three, when combined with the complete lack of wind or cold, it's an almost therapeutic experience. I know this sounds ridiculous but man it's amazing.
• The visibility, in any condition. Huge field of view through a crystal clear lens, much better than my goggles. Can't decide if it's sunny or cloudy? No worries - the sun shield flips up and down instantly and easily, while riding, so you're always prepared. Sun right in your eyes? Flip the "peak" down to the bottom position and you're set. There's never a compromise...within seconds it can adapt to any conditions.

I never thought I could care even remotely this much about a piece of riding gear but I am so over the top in love with this helmet it's insane. It was worth every penny and then some!!!

What is the vision quality through the drop down yellow lens. Does it distort/warp your view at all?

 

[oldskiguy]

Failed in Snell testing, so not exactly the "greatest thing ever".

It has been my experience that Snell won't approve any helmet with a dual lens shield. Period. Just for that reason alone.
I do like mine for all the reasons stated. However, I hate the soaking wet rubber mouthpiece. I removed it and just plugged in. The electric shield actually gets to warm for me and I need to let the heat out some times. Overall I like the helmet and would also buy again.

 

[dfrider]

Heated shields don't melt freezing rain.

Vision through the drop down is excellent.

Heated goggles have worked for me in freezing rain in the past.

Good to know. Might have to try this helmet out.

I currently have a FXR X-1 helmet and it has been a good one but it has 12,000+ miles on it. It will be 7 years old and has taken it share of hits over the years. I noticed it was starting to fall apart, plastic trim coming off, plastic tabs that hold in the liner are breaking, delamination of goggle holder tabs etc.
