Snowmobiles can reach speeds of 180 miles per hour, so outmost protection in case of an accident is crucial. AFX snowmobile helmets stock a wide array of helmets. The choice of the helmets will depend on where you intend to snowmobile (location) as different locations have different snow conditions, as well as the amount of money you intend to spend on the helmet. AFX stocks the sno-cross, modular and full face models of snowmobile helmets.
The sno-cross helmet is similar to an off-road helmet, with a projecting visor. The visor protects the upper face area from incoming debris. However, this type of helmet necessitates the rider to wear goggles. AFX helmets stock scratch-proof dual-lenses made up of poly carbonates which are electrically configurated and feature a variety of optional lenses. They are designed to fit snugly and conform to the rider's face and come in six different colours. The AFX sno-cross variety is mostly preferred by more aggressive racers.
The AFX Modular model has a front section that can flip out at the touch of a button whenever you want to take a break. In case you want to close it, you just pull it down and it locks in place. This is normally preferred by riders who wear glasses.
The most favoured by most snowmobile riders is the full face design, which features an anti fog front shield (this is facilitated by the presence of a breath box) and a flip up front shield. AFX helmets stock the FX-100, FX-90 and FX-MAGNUS.
AFX snowmobile helmets have the following additional features:-
A light thermoplastic poly-alloy shell and a light shield for exceptional optical clarity, a wide field of view and superb, thermal performance. The anti-fog is durable since it is hard coated to be able to withstand even the harshest winter conditions.
A breath box mounted on the chin strap.
An antimicrobial and hypo-allergenic nylon is used to line the helmet and make the cheek pads.
The helmet liner and cheek pads are detachable and washable.
The AFX snowmobile helmet is easily convertible to a street helmet especially for non-winter use.
It features 9 ventilation points with vents at the fore head, side, chin and rear.
A clear coat that protects the graphics and paint.
An ear cavity for speakers.

It enables one to drive the snow mobile comfortably in high wind conditions.
It also keeps the head area and face warm.
It has a removable breather internal cup that keeps your breath away from the screen thereby prevents it from fogging.
The presence of electrically heated face shield also keeps the shield from fogging.
It fits snugly thereby keeping you dry in the wet winter conditions.
