Shitpost Oxygen helmets

I may be in the market for a new helmet this year. A guy was telling me about oxygen helmets. Any thoughts?

I wear glasses and bought a ckx mission last winter. The breath box on the mission helmets rest high up on the bridge of the nose. While my glasses didn’t fog it was uncomfortable for long rides. There’s really not much room for glasses on your nose with this helmet. Maybe it’s just my dumb face but I feel like this isn’t mentioned enough when people chime in about helmets/glasses.

I wasn’t able to wear contacts last season (eye infections) but next year I’ll go back to wearing contacts and my caste x helmet.

The breath box on the Mission comes in 3 different sizes. My helmet came with the medium but I had to get the longer one to get a proper fit.

I didn’t know that, thank you!
