Gmax helmet

[Heypal]

So got together with friends over the weekend and a friend mentioned that he bought a GMAX helmet. I never heard of them. The concept looks interesting. Has anybody tried one??

Very happy with my Gmax modular. Great features, fit and price.comfortable -- vents well, fog free.

Great concept! Fog free without goggles . . i like that!!

What do these helmets weigh?
Where are the batteries located on the electric shield version?
How long do the batteries last?
How long does it take to Re-charge them?

If you need fog free goggles, these are pretty awesome. Saw them at the snow show last week.

The military is buying a glut of them so soldiers can see & not worry about getting shot defogging their goggles.
Battery is 8+ hours. USB charged.

these ABOM goggles would be great . . . if there was a nose protector. I dont think that is an option, unless i missed something. At a price of $260 to $270, PLUS another $130 to $140 for heated lenses . . . that should be included!

I have one with the electric shield. I like it. No fog, warm, works good, and a decent price.

I have an older Gmax helmet with a heated shield I bought 6ish years ago. Great helmets for the money. There are better helmets out there but not for the same price. You get a lot for your money with a Gmax.

Shield runs on 12v with a cord you plug into your sled. Works great for trail riding here in the Midwest. I bought a set of the aboms mentioned earlier for when I'm out west in the mountains.

this was only helmet i found that visor folds up far enough to also wear goggles if wanted.

Having a cord attached from helmet to sled would never work for backcountry riding. For the trail riders, this might just be a good option.

Yep, that's why I run the Gmax with a heated shield at home on the trails, and the aboms with a moto style helmet when I go to the mountains.
