Keep reading as we share why the Arctic Cat MX Helmet is one of the best options on the market and why they consistently receive 5-star ratings across the board.
Defined: MX/Snocross Helmets
The MX helmet shape is designed to cover the full head offering full-coverage protection with features like a bigger eye slot to provide room for goggles and chi protection, a visor, and ventilation.
Comparably, other helmets offer considerably less protection and only cover the top and back of the head, leaving the face, eyes, and chin area completely vulnerable.
These specific MX/Snocross helmets are suited for the more aggressive rider. It is best to combine these with a quality pair of goggles for snowmobiling. This allows for the rider to have a wider field of vision, helping them make faster and sharper maneuvers more confidently. These types of snocross helmets also help provide more ventilation as well, without the fog and sweat build up either!
Head Protection
It is fairly straightforward. However, still important to note. MX helmets are designed to protect your head and brain from injuries. Snowmobiling can be an extremely dangerous sport.
The likelihood that you will take a gnarly tumble at some point in your career is pretty much guaranteed, which is why a proper helmet is non-negotiable.
Snocross Helmets offer a much higher level of safety compared to any other basic type of helmet. Wearing a snowmobiling MX helmet is the best way to keep yourself safe while out on the course.
Element Protection
These MX helmets were designed specifically with the snowmobiling sport in mind. While riding your snowmobile, you will most certainly be subjected to various weather conditions that may obstruct your vision or increase the susceptibility to accidents.
Our AirCat MX Helmet provides protection against UV rays, keeps dirt and debris from entering your eyes, and keeps your face dry from the rain and warm in the frigid winter.
As a snowmobiling enthusiast, you will probably spend a lot of time in the back country or ripping through the fresh pow on a trail.
Our MX AirCat Helmets are designed to provide more protection from slush, snow dust and the glaring sun!
Ventilation
Riding can often leave a rider feeling hot and stuff, especially if you are riding off trail or during bright sunny days. Further, you are more likely to sweat while riding a snowmobile that is why our mx helmet offers more ventilation than other helmets.
Because of this, a superior venting system is required to ensure optimal safety as well as comfort. A quality ventilation system in snowmobile helmets will typically include one or more vent holes either on the front or top of the helmet in addition to an exhaust vent on the back of the helmet and a vent or two on the chin bar. Each of these vents allows air to circulate throughout the helmet.
A quality helmet ventilation system will prevent the helmet shield from collecting moisture due to condensation. An even better helmet will route air to the chin for extra ventilation around the jawline!
Style
Our Arctic Cat' MX AirCat Helmets are most commonly known for their unmatched style.
They come in a variety of colors. Many riders love to show off their personal style via the details on their helmets while racing. We even provide many Arctic Cat Decals to add a little more personalized style.
The variety in style is also a great way to make yourself visible while riding and is an added safety precaution as you increase your odds of being seen by other riders with a bright color helmet!
Fit
For the helmet to properly do its job, it is essential to purchase the correct helmet size. Our MX Aircat Helmet's fit is designed for long riding in mind. It's fit is known to be more lightweight than other helmets due to its lightweight materials.
The best part is this helmet keeps its safe functionality to fulfill the ECE 22-05 and DOT norms and provide more comfortability within the fit.
To ensure you have the correct fit, consult a professional as to your sizing.
Comfort
They are made with carbon and fiberglass materials. Because they are lighter, most riders consider them far more comfortable to wear than their heavier counterparts. The fit of your helmet should be lightweight and comfortable.
MX AIRCAT HELMET
There are many brands of MX helmets. However, we recommend the Aircat Helmet because of its superior technology. With multiple air vents for quality ventilation, a carbon fiber shell, and a removable breath deflector, the Aircat helmet provides comfort, safety, and visibility. Like we always say, the proof is in the product.
Try the Aircat Helmet out and see for yourself why it is one of the best! You can also pair this helmet with a pair of Arctic Cat Goggles for the ultimate combo of style and safety.
It is clear why the MX helmet is one of the best regarding safety, style, ventilation, and material.
If you must compromise on a piece of gear because of money or other restraints, make sure that it is not your helmet. Your helmet is protecting the most precious part of your body, and you deserve the highest quality and advanced technology protecting you.
