Top Trail Helmet Showdown - Snowmobile Edition | 509 vs CKX vs BRP | The Best of the Best for 2024 

Excellent review, very comprehensive. I have an Oxygen, definitely plan to try the new vented shield.

No issues with CKX Mission if you use the right dealer. GP Bikes was awesome to deal with. Great helmet with no electric cord needed. 👍👍👍👍👍

Great overview of these helmets. Wife just bought an Oxygen helmet...going to look for an after market peak if it's possible to add. Same with the upgraded visor with vent for Oxygen. I'm looking at getting the Advex and installing a Cardo Edge...as well for my wife's Oxygen. The Vibe not being Cardo compatible and the Vibe also not allowing charging while in use are major deal breakers when looking at Vibe.

Two categories that a future video should cover field of vision and comfort if you have to wear glasses, keep up the good work.

You can get an electric dark shield for the Mission. You can also get an electric Photochromic shield which goes to dark in the sunlight.

Very nice job ! Keep up the great videos coming. Thank you 😎

After running the Oxygen helmet for 4 or 5 years I switched to the Mission Patriot Carbon this year. The oxygen helmet was just too warm for me where the mission gets much better air flow. The photochromatic shield is amazing though as it tints in the sun and clears when you need it. The mission is much noisier in comparison as the oxygen with my sena is much better. I do like the looks of the patriot mission much better. The convenience of the magnetic cord on the oxygen is great. Also have found the mission shield to latch tough at times. Both have been great just depends on what your wants and needs are for sure! Great video yet again.

Thanks for the good review, lots of information!

Great comparison. Looking forward to new Oxygen visor. Advex just seems like a crazy price especially when it only pairs with Sena.

One of the big things with helmets is the ability to get a drink without removing the helmet. I get dehydrated riding so it’s a must for me.

I have the 509 in carbon, same as you. Was unsure about the ear seals and fitment at first, but have gotten used to it and like it. I wear a balaclava that’s wind resistant around the neck and back of the head. The microphone clarity is better than I expected, but disappointed in using my phone to record audio with it. It needs a peak and sun shield, like the Mission. I had to carry sunglasses because of that. Had initial buyers remorse compared to the Mission, but am going to hold onto it for another season and see how it goes. Wish someone made a chin mount for GoPro.

Thank you for sharing your time with us. You mentioned in the past how riders in your group wearing eyeglasses had no issues with their glasses fogging or frosting up when wearing the Oxygen helmet. Did you ever wear your eyeglasses in the Advex helmet or could you please share any insights on how well it may work with eyeglasses? Also, the design of both the Oxygen and Advex look similar - is there a chance the peak from the Advex could fit onto the Oxygen? Thank you

Love all the Carbon! 🤤

Have you guys ever tried a castle x cx950 v2 helmet? Bought one this year and love it comfortable , no air leaks and with an electric shield for $330 us.

Walter Roosa ​​I use the Cardo and the Oxygen as well. Question about the speakers, do you remove the red sound pads inside the Oxygen ear muffs?

What works best with glasses?

Ive had my mission since they came out and love it, but their warranty process and wait time for parts is an issue. I went through three visors and it took 9 months to get a new one.

Can you install the Cardo edge in the advex

The 509 helmet comes with the same JBL speakers that you get with the Cardo edge system….

CKX contact review? Considerably less money

Do you think the advex helmet would work with the oxygen helmet cord with the 3 heat settings?

Is the Advex helmet mouth vent adjustable ?

Can’t you put the cardos in the Advex?

The absolute most important issue with a trail helmet is, can I run it without plugging in? As a high mileage, long distance rider, a failed heated visor will destroy your entire trip. Broken wires, wires falling out when riding aggressively, misplacing a wire, etc... All of it adds complexity for no reason whatsoever. The electricity helping with freezing rain is also a moot point - I've never used a heated visor in my life where it'd literally melt freezing rain off of the shield. Having said that, the Mission has no equal. The Oxygen also has severe reflection issues when riding at night with other lights coming into your field of vision.
