MISSION helmet

  • Peak, breath deflector and long chin curtain already installed 
  • User manual

The helmet has been designed to accommodate prescription glasses. Depending on the model, the frame of your glasses may come into contact with the breath deflector. In this case, we recommend the use of a connected electric shield that allows you to ride without the breath deflector.

The flexible breath deflector optimizes proper functioning of the AMS (Air Management System) by creating two zones within the helmet.

By using the bones of your nose and those of your cheeks as a contact point, the mask should rest tightly and comfortably on the cheeks and nose to isolate the lower zone of the face, in order to confine the moist air exhaled by the mouth.           

The mask should not pinch the tip of the nose or the nostrils, and should not touch your lips. 

The breath deflector should rest tightly and comfortably on the cheeks and nose to isolate the lower zone of the face. It should not pinch the tip of the nose or the nostrils, and should not touch your lips. 

The breath deflector is made of a flexible material. Open the shield put on the helmet. Close the shield and move the helmet over your head. This should help to ensure that the deflector is correctly positioned on your nose.

The breath deflector is equipped with notched straps. Pull or tighten the straps to lower and move the deflector away from your face. Release the straps to approach it and lift it up on the nose.

It is very important that the helmet is perfectly adjusted. First make sure you have the right size. The helmet should not be too big or too small. It should be comfortable without constricting the head or forehead, or on the contrary, it should not move too freely. Refer to the size chart.

If the helmet size is ideal and you still can’t adjust the breath deflector, you may need to replace the shield. Please contact your retailer or customer service.

There is no specific cavity in the Mission helmet's EPS to accommodate a communication system. However, depending on the size of the system, installation may be possible.

As our tests did not show a significant reduction in noise, but rather user discomfort due to ear constriction, we opted for cheek pads that free the ear rather than surrounding it. This ensures a better comfort for the user.

When the shield is open and the deflector is installed, it is not possible to lower the sun visor. Forcing the sun visor to operate in this situation could cause the mechanism to break.

The Mission helmet meets and exceeds the DOT FMVSS 218 standards.

Helmets

Many certifications exist in Canada and United-States but the most common one is the DOT certification. A helmet must go through many impact tests to be DOT certified. A DOT sticker must be found behind the helmet, on the outer shell to authentify the conformity to the DOT norms. Note that all CKX helmets are DOT approved, so legal on the roads of Canada and United-States.

There is no major difference between a summer and a winter helmet. However, summer helmets are sold with single lens and winter helmets are sold with double or electric double lens. (Where lens apply!)

First, you must ensure that the helmet meets standards to be legal on the road. Note that all CKX helmets meet DOT standards in force in Canada and the United States. Thereafter, it is imperative to choose the right size for your safety and comfort.

When your helmet is on your head and attached, be sure it can’t fall over your eyes nor rotate from left to right with a simple head shaking. Also, make sure it is not crushing your mouth and/or nose which might harm your breathing.

You can consult our sizing chart using the following link CKX sizing chart.

No, all CKX helmets are DOT certified only.
