Not sure if you all noticed or not, but I see Yamaha came out with the 3rd generation of SnoForce helmets.
I have a 1st Generation SnoForce (its a SnoForce SRX helmet made in '00) and its a pretty good helmet. However, I breath guard kinda squishes my nose and with the low snocross windshield that my sled has on it, it tends to have a lot of nose from the wind hitting the front of the helmet. The front of it is kind of flat and has square corners, so Im sure it creates a lot of turbulance.
Anywho, Yamaha also has had a lot of problems with Lazer (the company who made the older SnoForce helmets) sending them the wrong face shields. I had a heck of a time getting a mirrored visor for my SnoForce and I was told by Port Yamaha that Lazer all makes helmet for Ski-Doo and that they had a problem with Lazer sending them visors for Doo helmets instead of ones for Yamaha helmets.
I havent seen a SnoForce 3 in person yet, but it looks to me like its better than the 2s were. Its made by HJC, has adjustable vents and is much more rounded. It should cure the wind noise problem that mine has.
Cap'n
