Oakley MOD7 Helmet Large

Product Information

Dura-Matter Mix Shell - A hybrid-shell construction method using a mix of durable hard-shell Duramatter and traditional lightweight polycarbonate that creates a well-balanced design and is strategically applied to selected areas of the helmet. Applied over an EPS foam liner Lens Landing Zone - Located at the front/top of the helmet, the Lens Landing Zone allows the wearer to intuitively stow the visor in place just as they would a traditional goggle using Secure-Connect technology

The attachment system is very wonky although it works. The primary issue I found is that to get your goggles on it requires you to get fingerprints all over the middle front of the lenses to connect them. This is a huge issue when you could potentially scratch or dirty your googles with your gloves. Secure Connect - Magnetically connects and mechanically secures the visor to the helmet, both in the ride and stowed positions

The Oakley MOD 7 features an integrated Prizm™ visor. Prizm™ is a revolution in lens optics built on decades of colour science research and their lenses enhance the visibility of snow contours, bumps, and textures, so you can have the clarity of vision and confidence to ride further and faster.

Fact: you need to protect your head while skiing or riding. Fiction: all helmets are uncomfortable and cumbersome. Proof: The new MOD 7, which ushers in a new era of high-performance protection for your noggin. The MOD 7 also sports Oakley’s Modular Brim system. Three interchangeable brims (large, medium, and small, all included) swap on and off in moments. The Oakley MOD 7 Ski/Snowboard Helmet has been meticulously designed for those who demand the highest levels of performance and sets a new standard for visor helmets. As its name implies, Secure-Connect’s function is to securely connect the visor with the helmet. For a sport where safety is vital and for a brand that caters to risk-taking athletes, the dependability and reliability of the mechanism is essential and needs to allow both the goggle and the helmet to serve their key roles of protecting the wearer. But Secure-Connect must also be easy-to-use, comfortable and provide a seamless experience for taking the visor on and off. MOD7 achieves this duality. The signature mechanism—which magnetically connects and mechanically secures the two elements—is complemented by a lens-seal adjustment button on the side of the helmet that makes for a custom, comfortable fit and seal, while a lens eject button provides easy removal. MOD7 goes so far as to provide a spot, dubbed the Lens Landing Zone, to stow lenses atop the helmet in between runs, just as one might do with a traditional goggle.

Our Picks

BP: That’s easy! Although an observer definitely can’t miss this feature, the Secure-Connect is by far my favorite part of the helmet as we worked hard to achieve this game-changing feature. Being able to magnetically connect my goggles to my helmet in both ride and stowed position is what makes this helmet so unique and special, but also extremely effective. When I’m out on the mountain, this simple and functional feature really makes a difference in the best way possible.
