Looks like it's not released yet? It would be hard for me to go back to the breath mask after using an Oxygen helmet this year.

 

Whereas for me, I can't imagine going to a helmet that has to be wired.
The marketing video suggests it's a cross between the modular 3 and the BV2S.
Here're some snips from the accessories catalog regarding the Exome (btw, odd name):

 

Do you see a weight listed? My BV2S worked better plugged in. I would try a Mission if I didn't like the cord.

 

There aren't any specs listed as the helmet has yet to "drop". The Mission looks like a great helmet and I have one riding buddy that has it an likes it. It has been basically unavailable all winter. I get it, you don't like the mask... I personally have zero issue with the mask. Having the mask ensures your moist breath exits the helmet. As long as it's on, even if stopped.
This Exome seems to even incorporate some of the Mission design with the way it evacuates the air but with the mask doesn't require movement to perform the function. I also really like having the tail light on the BV2S at night. Hoping the Exome retains that feature. It looks like it does but not certain if it's a reflector versus powered light. Anyone that has ridden behind someone with a lighted BV2S at night can appreciate that feature in snow dust.

 

They frustrated me so badly with my Oxygen helmet I'm torn on wanting to try this new one out. I have a Mission helmet which works sweet for me and totally cordless. But yeah it can get a little drafty sure. Plus if I bring my umpteenth helmet home my wife's gonna start demanding haha

 

This Helmet is pretty much an original BV1.

 

Any news on a release date? Like anything else these days, better spring order one.
My Modular 3 is about done. Lid won't stay up any longer and keeps snapping shut on my fingers [emoji23]

Mine was doing that as well, take the screws out and remove the black round piece on each side of the visor. nice and tight now.

 

My modular 2 would get snow dust in it since it was new. It sucked! Made for a bad of ridding only wore it once.

 

What does 2 shell sizes mean?

They have done this with other helmets; AFAIK it means that the smaller sizes - XS, S, Medium - have a smaller physical outer shell with different padding depending on the size, whereas the Large, XL, XXL have a bigger outer shell. I am not sure of what the size cutoff is for which get the small shell and which gets the large shell.

 

Has anyone seen the price of the Exome helmet? I am interested, but I am also interested in the Castle X CX950.

I am really turned off to BRP helmets currently. After years of dealing with their junk (poor quality, Chinesium) heated shields - BV2S and Oxygen - that stop heating, scratch easily, have poor optical clarity as well as numerous bad BRP cords, I am ready to move on.

 

I hate cords. The ckx titan has heated google battery pack not sure how that works. I’ve been using fly 2 with 509 sinister goggles with fan. No issues other than I have to gat better combo or stay warm. Maybe the titan would be warmer don’t know.

 

Any updates on this helmets availability date?

 

As soon as the dealer start going through the pallets of their snow check stuff it's only summer

 

I was at the dealer a few weeks ago. They said about October they will start putting winter stuff out. Buuuutttt, keep checking we might have some on a back shelf.

Sick of summer and it can end. They have absolutely no winter stuff out. Can't even look at it but instead have to look at endless motorcycle stuff. How boring

 

Is this the helmet that replaced the Bvs and Mod? I remember seeing one in the spring I was interested in but long forgot the name.

 

I believe it’s the one that’s a newer version of the modular. And yeah it’s still summer but I remember the Oxygen first year if you didn’t get one by September you pretty much didn’t get one that season and with shortages of everything I figured to get as soon as I can. I tried 2 dealerships one had no clue of the helmet the other said it never got a release date for them?

 

Looks like it is now live on the doo website. Dealer nearest me is putting out their new winter gear over the next week or so, hoping I can stop in and try one on.

 

If it matters to you, it's not SNELL or ECE approved, DOT only.

Just my opinion but I want something better than only a DOT rating.

 

Stopped by a shop today that had the Exome helmets on display as well as the CKX Mission and Contact helmets.
Noticed that the Exome felt heavier than the CKX models (non-carbon).

 

I used my exome sport finally and had issues right off, no fogging but the inside of shield kept freezing over, anyone else having this problem? I've used mod 2 and 3 never had a problem but never rode in -50 windchill either

 

I really like the helmet but it fogs on me , so did the mod 3 and bvs2 . Just not enough venting to get heat out So probably back to open face and goggles and save the old mod 2 which works great for me

 

I picked my sled up friday and was really considering an exome but after reading these reviews now I have to rethink what to get. I don't want to have to plug helmet in every time I ride, Real cold situations maybe but not every time. I have to ask, are you able to keep face warm enough with open face helmet and goggles?

 

In warmer weather mine worked great I believe it was around 15 to 20F but the windchill being 50 below I'm guessing snow was getting in and freezing on lense

 

Just did two more days in single digit weather, yes it had to be plugged in for the shield to stay clear. It’s warm on the face and my glasses fog shortly on taking off but clear quickly and stay clear. After having a Oxygen and a Mission even though this one’s not perfect I like it the best for my glasses situation. If glasses wasn’t a factor I’d stick with the Mission no plugging in ever required in two seasons of owning one.

 

I'm ordering the heated shield for mine, just sucks it's obviously an issue freezing lens, I called everywhere just trying to get it for the 69$ extra I believe it was because of the issue nobody willing except a guy I saw on YouTube doing reviews on these, I called them he's giving it at cost, so I found my new store to shop at, Blackmans I believe it is, great people, and I wanted the flat black one to, but he said msrp on just heated lens was 135, his cost is 95 or something close, so anyone willing to help someone they don't have to will earn my business, going up north soon cause Illinois isn't getting snow at all so will see how it goes, I liked my mod 2 and 3 cause I didn't need heated lens ever and didn't want wires, just hope it comes before I go
