Founded in 1975 as a subsidiary of Luxottica, the world's largest sunglasses company, Oakley has been dedicated to a wide range of outdoor products, including goggles, which went public in 1995. To date, Oakley has more than 600 eyewear and material patents, and its design capabilities are also outstanding.
Oakley is still a novice when it comes to ski helmets, with only two products. Although they are named Mod3 and Mod5 respectively, there are no 1st, 2nd, or 4th generations. Although it has not been in the snow helmet industry for a long time, both products still have many bright spots. For example, Mod3 is not inferior to the traditional old brand in terms of configuration, and a lot of effort has been put into the details. As a low-to-mid-range helmet, the Boa FS 180 adjustment system is standard, but the Mod3 uses the Boa FS 270, which is considered to be sincere, and is also equipped with a magnetic buckle. Weight control doesn't seem to be Oakley's strong point, and the weight of the helmet made of pure PC material actually weighs 550g. So the previous price of $140 for such a helmet has always been unconvincing, but since the price has recently been reduced to $104.95, this gives people who value value for money another good option.
Mod5 also almost all the technology and equipment available for $149.95. Hybrid structures, MIPS, and all sorts of $200 helmets you need, Mod5 has it all. The most noteworthy is its brim, many skiers will encounter the problem of incompatibility between snow goggles and snow helmets, so Mod5 comes with two brims with different lines, which can be changed at any time according to their needs. At the same time, there are also vents in the brim, which are directly connected to the helmet's ventilation system, which on the one hand reduces the cold wind entering the helmet, and on the other hand, further prevents the fogging of the snow goggles. There are a total of 8 adjustable vents throughout the helmet, and they are all carefully designed and concealed rather than directly exposed, so there is no need to worry about snow seeping in.
