Snowmobile helmets also shield us from low-hanging branches, strong wind gusts, blowing snow, frigid temperatures and loud noises from other vehicles.
A proper fitting helmet is also effective in reducing condensation, or fogging. Canadian Tire has a wide selection of snowmobile helmets designed to reduce fogging from extreme temperature changes thanks to their anti-fog dual pane visors and built-in vents for air flow.
How Often Should You Replace Your Helmet?
Many sources recommend you replace your snowmobile helmet every 3 to 5 years, but it may be sooner depending on how often you use it, and how much wear and tear it’s gone through. A good starting point would be to inspect your helmet for any signs of degradation before you start riding. Check for any cracks or indentations in the shell and liner, or for any loose parts. Theses are all signs your helmet needs to be replaced.
Can You Use a Motorcycle Helmet for a Snowmobiling?
While both types of helmets are built to keep us safe, they are designed for different activities and temperatures. In order to ensure maximum protection, it is best to stick to a snowmobile helmet as they have distinct features, such as a more lightweight shell and anti-fog face shields. For all your snowmobile needs, visit Canadian Tire for all the latest gear and accessories like goggles, gloves, jackets and more.
