At a minimum,  and often prescribed by law, a protective helmet is essential. We all know that a helmet effectively protects the head in the event of an accident. Various certifications, including [DOT or ECE](https://blog.kimpex.com/your-helmets-safety-certification), will ensure that your helmet fulfills its primary function of protection. Once this requirement is met, what other criteria should guide your purchasing decision? You might consider the materials, the price, or the brand. But there is also another very important element you should not overlook, and that will be the focus of this article: the features.   ## **CKX Contact Helmet: Designed for Trail Enthusiasts** Anyone who has spent enough hours on their snowmobile knows that small irritations eventually turn into major inconveniences with time and repetition. A helmet that makes life easier through its features not only increases riding enjoyment but also makes you want to extend and repeat your outings more often. To illustrate this advantage, let’s turn to the snowy trails and, more specifically, to the [CKX Contact snowmobile helmet](https://ckxgear.com/products/ckx-contact-free-face-helmet-edge-1?variant=51468594348337). [![CKX Contact helmet in action](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BLOG/POST/2025/Articles%20Contact/_DSC9146-1.jpg?width=5242&height=2724&name=_DSC9146-1.jpg)](https://ckxgear.com/products/ckx-contact-free-face-helmet-artik-1?variant=51468591333681) ## **The Practical Features of the CKX Contact Helmet** Despite its minimalist look, the CKX Contact snowmobile helmet is packed with features that make life easier during rides. It is not a [modular helmet](https://peakboys.ca/blogs/snowmobile/full-face-vs-modular-snowmobile-helmets-which-one-for-you?srsltid=AfmBOoparroqc2luYBc3B-fevCKhZZqTfl9wDYUUMLV4n6BOnM1EoeAw), but it allows you to completely free your face without removing it. In fact, when you lift the visor, a section of the chin guard attached to the visor rises with it.  This design lets you drink, eat, vape, or chat with friends while keeping the helmet on. If your helmet is properly fitted, snug but comfortable, you’ll greatly appreciate not having to take it on and off repeatedly during your trip (and no longer wondering each time where to set it down). [![Visor fully open of the CKX Contact](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BLOG/POST/2025/Articles%20Contact/_DSC8117.jpg?width=8640&height=5760&name=_DSC8117.jpg)](https://ckxgear.com/products/ckx-contact-free-face-helmet-artik-1?variant=51468591333681) ### Heated Electric Shield: No More Fogging on the Snowmobile It’s hard to fully enjoy a snowmobile ride when your helmet visor fogs up. Reading the terrain becomes difficult, and riding turns hesitant, tiring, and sometimes even dangerous. Not to mention the beautiful snowy landscapes that vanish behind the fog. To eliminate this issue, the Contact comes standard with a heated electric shield. Once plugged in, it gently warms up, preventing the humidity generated inside the helmet from condensing on the visor and obstructing your vision. ### **CKX Magnetic Connector: A Game-Changing Accessory** That said, the CKX Contact snowmobile helmet doesn’t stop there. A heated shield means a power connection, and here, too, the Contact makes your life easier. The connector is located at the front of the helmet, making the connection status light easily visible. No need to check in your mirrors or with your hand to confirm the connection. In addition, a cable guide on the side of the visor directs the cord toward the back, preventing it from getting in the way. For even more convenience, you can add the optional CKX magnetic connector, a practical accessory that helps reduce the risk of damaging the cable linking the snowmobile to the helmet. Take advantage of it! From October 13 to November 23, 2025, get a FREE CKX magnetic connector by purchasing any CKX Contact helmet! Full details here: https://info.ckxgear.com/en-ca/ckx-contact-promotion-2025   [![CKX Electric lens Power Cord](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BLOG/POST/2025/Articles%20Contact/111232_OTH1.webp?width=600&height=600&name=111232_OTH1.webp)](https://ckxgear.com/products/ckx-electric-lens-power-cord-v1) If you’re like me and forget to unplug your cable 99% of the time when getting off your snowmobile, then the CKX magnetic connector (sold separately) will give you peace of mind. ### **Wider Field of Vision and Integrated Sun Visor** Equipped with an oversized visor, the CKX Contact snowmobile helmet offers an exceptional field of vision, giving almost the impression of not wearing a helmet at all. On top of that, it includes an integrated amber-tinted sun visor, which can be activated with a small lever located on the side of the helmet. This internal shield reduces glare from the sun and enhances contrast, allowing for better reading of terrain reliefs and snowy trails, resulting in more precise and safer riding. ## [![Sun visor of the CKX Contact](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BLOG/POST/2025/Articles%20Contact/_DSC7686.jpg?width=8083&height=5389&name=_DSC7686.jpg)](https://ckxgear.com/products/ckx-contact-free-face-helmet-artik-1?variant=51468591333681) ### **ProClip Fastener and Enhanced Winter Comfort** In addition to these features, the helmet includes a ProClip fastener, which allows you to put on and take off the helmet easily, as well as a chin curtain designed to improve insulation against the cold. The CKX Contact snowmobile helmet also has the space needed to install a communication system (Intercom or Bluetooth), so you can stay connected during your rides. ## **A Complete and Competitive Snowmobile Helmet** Beneath its streamlined appearance, the CKX Contact snowmobile helmet is, in fact, extremely rich in features. Even when considering its competitive price (starting at 319.99$) and [5-year warranty](https://ckxgear.com/pages/warranty), what truly sets it apart is its ability to minimize irritations and maximize the enjoyment of snowmobile riding.
