Kermit said:One and the same. Snowmibile guys have been wearing motorcross helmets. Why would you need a super vented helmet for snowmobiles, I don't know, maybe for snowcross racing?
Vents should be great for the desert.
That's what I figured with the Gore Tex wind stopper and cold weather face mask.

You need vents because it gets freakin' hot in there! I have never pulled off a helmet while snowmobiling and not had crazy, sweaty helmet head. I don't always ride with my vents open, but when you need them they're a savior. Powder riding and digging out from a stuck, will have you drenched with sweat, even in sub freezing temps.
Another reason is that on full face helmets particularly, the shield will fog and freeze up from your breathing. Then you can't see a thing which is brutal. I've switched to an open face helmet with goggles to avoid that, but vents help alleviate the fogging up on full face models.
Nice helmet Kermit. I hope it helps you keep your head on straight.

I was assuming it would get hot in there, big mountain riding takes a lot of work, like enduro racing or motorcross. I never done big mountain sledding only East Coast trail sledding....only thing I remembered it was darn nippy!
I would like to get into big mountain sledding...hard to do in Two-sawn...

Yep, the one in front of the parts counter...I see you go in there too much, Brian. The 650X was in there today...eww...Todd did a number on the rear wheel...two big divots out of the rim.
I almost bought a black one, but, I felt the orange would stand out better for daul sport rides. I know, I know, it's KTM orange...
I figured it would be an "orange" thing.
Yes, I do spend to much time in there....and they just won't get rid of that darn blue 800ST sitting on the floor. It calls my name every time I ride past the shop. Good thing I don't have $14K laying around....
