Wow!!!! Suggestions on facemasks for cold weather blast off...

[pavi69]

For the guys wearing the helmet I've tried this a few times and I have problems with the lens fogging? Is there a certain type of lens I should be looking for?

I flip the visor up at idle speed. I have never had it fog at speed.

I've had problems with mine fogging at speed.

How do you keep a pastry on your head at 60+ mph :)

He means balaclava ;)

Very carefully! Speck check got me.

I just wear a full ski mask and sunglasses then bundle up. And SLOW DOWN. My boat only tops out around 40 anyway and I don't fish tournaments. When fishing with my buddy in the winter I just put my hood up and sit on the edge of the front deck facing backwards. He makes his Charger crawl when it's cold too and me on the front deck helps keep the nose down.

Is it a stupid statement? I mean what IF you get tossed from a boat at 45mph and the first thing to hit the water is the back edge (or any edge) of the helmet?
I won't entertain the idea of a full face helmet or any kind of helmet just for this simple reason.

Every boat racer has to wear a helmet you'll be glad you did if your thrown out of the boat and bounce off the side or console of the boat.

Been fishing and running in thee cold for years. I can tell you first hand, your jaws will freeze with the save phace (worthless for winter runs). Haven't tried a helmet, because of safety reasons but a few others mentioned and I completely agree, a Serius neoprene fleece lined face ski mask with ski goggles is the way to go. The only addition that I now use is a genuine Bomber brand hat with real rabbii fur. You look like hell but I promise your head will not get cold, even on a long 70 mph run in the 20's w

I was over here trying to picture these guys with this tied on their heads somehow.

One of the helmets that have a 12V heater and defroster would be nice.

+1 on this.

[Flippin 416]

Can you find an instance where this has happened, please provide it.

I can't but anything is possible in those kinds of situations.

[Flippin 416]

Chances are pretty much zero for the back edge to be the first thing to hit the water. Then you would need magic for enough water to enter to jerk your head enough to break your neck. In that case, God was calling and nothing would have saved you.

Back edge or front edge or any edge of the helmet...the possibility is there and while it may be slim why take the chance if there is a safer alternative?

In a racing situation I can totally understand the need for a helmet. Being bounced out a boat that you are strapped into "could" cause some issues. Not to mention that there may be some flying debris and the other competitors still on course. When I get into a racing situation in my boat....I'll put one on.

Definitely a helmet works best, but I have found this to be the best when I don't wear a helmet. Keeps the wind off your head.

They make some good gloves too.

So there is no documented evidence this has ever happened (literally 0%) and you are looking for something safer than that? Good luck with the quest.

So the edge of a pair goggles or a save face could catch water also?
i don't know if anyone should strap the helmet on in a boat but your head is in the helmet so it's not like you have an empty bucket on

How much to just coat my mask/lens, not custom paint?

Thanks,

Here are a few we have done

NM not worth arguing with you....you do it your way and I'll do it mine.

[Royjulius]

I use a Save Phace with Overcast sunglasses underneath. I remove the lens from the SP.
