Snowmobile Helmet Shields

The shield for your snowmobile helmet is not only  something you'll be looking out through, but also protects you from the outside elements. Most snowmobile helmets come with either a dual lens clear shield or an electric shield. Some helmets also come with a flip sun visor as well. Its a good idea to always have an extra shield on hand incase yours gets scratched up or you break it.

Shopping guidelines for snowmobile helmet shields

Shield choices that are available

Most snowmobile helmets made today usually have a variety of shield styles available for it. Examples of the various shields that maybe available include:

• Clear dual lens snow shield. This is what comes on most snow helmets when you purchase them new.
• Electric snow shield. Most of the time these are sold separately and are designed to reduce the likelihood of the shield fogging up.
• Smoke tinted shields. These are designed for day time use and are designed to reduce sun glare.
• Sun visors. These aren't really shields, rather they are visors that go either over or under your standard clear lens shield. They are designed to act much like sunglasses. You flip them down as needed.

Remember that a snowmobile helmet shield is different from a motorcycle helmet shield in that it has a dual pane. The dual pane serves the purpose of helping the shield to keep from fogging as well as protecting you from the outside elements.

Another important point to remember is make sure that the shield you choose is described as fitting your helmet.
