Well, I guess I did it! Pick up the new RTX on Wed. The windshield is just about useless on this sled. I used to ride with a wedge helmet because it wouldn[t fog up on me. But I used to ride with a real windshield too! I am going to buy a new helmet with electric shied. I am leaning toward the modular from ski doo. What helmet set ups do you guys like? I want something air tight since i will use a heated shield.
 
used my bv2s for the first time yesterday. I loved it, it worked to perfection.
 
Just got the new Scorpion helmet!
I would highly recommend it!
alot less money than the bv2s
 
I got the Scorpion EXO 400 with E-Shield this year. Got two days use on it. It works really well. However, you need to have something to cover your chin. The Scorpion’s No-Fog deflector is built in the helmet, and there is nothing that actually tightly covers your chin inside the helmet (e.g. like wearing a No-Fog Mask, etc.) At 100 MPH, air gets in there through the helmet’s thin material, under the chin. Probably be worse with a low windshield. Can’t beat the price though, $185. Lots less than the BVS2.

Another interesting thing; It seems that once you go to an E-shield, you need to have it powered to keep the fog out. My old Arctic Cat helmet did not fog with a NON E-Shield. But, once you put on the E-Shield, you had to power it or it would fog. The EXO E-Shield also fogs w/o power. Once it is powered, then it works just fine. Go figure, eh?
 
Ski doo modular Works very well. Less money than Bvs2. I put an electric shield on it but have never had to plug it in.
