I have heard quite a few people complain of the same issue I was having with the BRP Modular helmet...It's cold on the face. On very cold rides I would get pretty nasty wind burn on my cheeks all around my mask, not to mention my eyes would water constantly. :brrr: I own the Modular 1 and I am not sure how the Mod 2 differs but will share what has worked for me with my helmet.

I discovered that by blocking the areas underneath the mask the air that enters the face area is significantly reduced. To block off this area I used 2" weather stripping and stuck it on both sides of the leather chin guard, then cut it so that it would fit over the mask. I am still able to open and close the helmet as usual and have not had a cold face since doing this! ;)!

I added some pics to show exactly what I did. In the first pic I circled the areas that NEED to be covered in order to block the wind from getting in. This is the best I could come up with but if someone can or has come up with something better please let me know!

Believe it or not, the Mod 2 has a piece like this that is very similar. It has magnets that attach it to the underneath of the helmet when it is in place. I think they must have done this to prevent the cold air coming in like you did.

I have not seen a Mod 2 in person (only in pics) and they don't ever show the bottom of the helmet. If someone has pics of the new design or has tried to retrofit this to a Mod 1 please share. Thanks
 
i have the mod2 and that little flap with the magnets makes all the difference in the world,take that off and major wind rush from bottom to top
 
My mod2 came with additional "cold weather" piece which you put on the breather mask that hangs down and is 6 inches long.
