Amazing video and exactly what I wanted from a review. I was disappointed to see it was your only helmet review when browsing the channel.
4:45 just to be clear it's not multiple impact protection. People often get confused on what MIPS is, thinking it's a helmet that provides impact protection multiple times, but it's Multi-Directional Impact Protection System like he was saying, it provides protection from other directions because of the slip plane between your head and the inside of the helmet. If you have a good crash that may have compromised the helmet, replace it.
I bought a 8000w stealth bomber i was looking for a helmet but none of the full face helmets looks good i love this helmet with this I'll be riding in style .
yeah screw the rest of my christmas list i want this
very good review, thanks
Snow helmets can use inspiration from the hybrids for street bikes.
A year later after I purchased this helmet, the good, its a great looking and comfortable helmet, I can wear airpods and my ears don't hurt, the bad, a bit of a pain to change the lens, in an ideal world I would like to buy a spare housing for the second lens, Oakley or nobody else selling them at the moment, in fact, this helmet is not on Oakley website anymore, so I am very hoping they will add it soon, in not, when that housing breaks, you are basically stuck with $500 helmet that will look funny when you use regular goggles over :)
Seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. This looks difficult without gloves and a lot off faffing around. I Can just imagine constantly taking off my gloves like I have to with the "supposed" easy lock magnetic chin strap that I have on my mod 3.
Also, there is ALOT of touching of the lens going on and if anyone knows Oakley like I do you only have to breathe on the coating and it scratches.
My mod 3 and line miner goggles are seemless and hassle free
I wonder how easy it is to push/pull all the buttons with your gloves on? Also, is the lens to frame a magnetic connection? How does one change lenses?
Really cool helmet though. I'm tempted.
Not easy
Hi there, I wear glasses. Just wanna find out if I will be ok wearing the MOD7 with my glasses? Thanks.
Hi Angelo I have a question about the 2nd lens that comes with the sapphire version. I was wondering if that clear lens comes as a whole or is it a replacement for the goggle that needs to be installed beforehand? is it also possible to buy a replacement lens or full goggle for these in case they get dammaged.thanks for helping us out great review.
I am wondering this as well
Same
found out that it comes with the lens only. Oakley is planning to sell the frame separately. so that mean in the future both a lens and frame will be sold for this helmet
Same question...clear came with no way to use it...almost broke the blue iridium lens trying to pop it off and install the clear...decided that can't be done before I broke it...wtf...stupid
@@jasoncastner7406 glad I read the comments, I was about to break mine, for that price tag the replacement lens should be magnetic!
Been skiing through US and Canada for weeks. Yet to see this helmet in any skishop. What gives?!
I bought 1 but not very satisfied. Disconnecting the goggles is easy, but clicking back is a bit of a search, which after a number of times starts to work, if I want to put the goggles on the helmet, it is just a lot of struggling and if you do that in the elevator up and you lose them you are nothing with that helmet of 500 euros! Expected more for that much money. Unfortunately
I played with mine, you have to have them latches or whatever you call them to stick all the way out, and then you push the lens in, hopefully that helps, but I agree , its not smooth an easy process..
@@LuckyUSA7 i know but going to change this helmet with the smith vantage and ski goggles also from smith (mag 4d). oakley mod 7 is a nice helmet and very comfortable and if you have found a way that makes it easy then it is worth the money
The best way I found to reinstall is start one side and stretch to the other because other than that it’s a pain to align both to be honest I would recommend if you get it cheap I got it for the price of the mod 5 also If anybody needs to know normal Oakley goggles fit well if you just don’t want to use those
A review would be done after you’ve tried them in the slopes. And you should really handle them with gloves or mittens on your hand.
And seriously, I would avoid touching the lense on my Googles, I want no marks or scratches on them.
These ones looks like a huge design failure:/
@@petermartinez2603how on earth did you manage to get it for that price?
I bought the helmet. I like it but it’s too small for my head. My head is like 63 cm and the Large is only big enough for like 60cm. The size chart says up to 63cm but it’s inaccurate. It’s too bad they don’t make an XL size
I have this but can’t find replacement goggles anywhere. Do they not offer that yet?
Not yet no, next season we will see a number of options for the MOD 7
Seems like having fingerprints all over the lens may be annoying. Cool design, thanks for sharing
Very accurate, have mine all over, and lens seem like it can get scratched easily, absolutely not worth the price tag, $200 top
He’s touched the lens more than I’ve touched my lens in the last 3 seasons.
@@LuckyUSA7 200 is just for the glasses remember it's oakleys
Gloves will be on. No worries.
Is it possible to wear the visor with glasses underneath? as in an otg?
I've heard that this is very good for glass wearers as the lens can fit over glasses
Yes this is possible.
It’s terrible. I wear a medium, and tried the helmet today. Struggled to put it in with my glasses. The OTG compatibility simply doesn’t exist, and I’ve got a pretty standard frame, nothing whacky. My frame was pressing into my face once I had the lens on. A very uncomfortable 5 minutes.
I bought this helmet and have had issues trying to get the goggles on and off without fingerprints. I have to carry a rag just to keep them clean from fingerprints. Harder to use than I figured it would be. Mine didn't come with the clear lenses which I want. Where do I get them?
you dont, there isnt availability for clear lens for this model :(
Are you supposed to wear a beanie with this? If so I'm guessing I'm a L? I want a warm helmet for Utah winds on the mtn
Niiiiceee
xDDD
Thanks bud.
Is the internal helmet liner removable/washable?
Yes it is
I like these helmets exceot for one major PART, Music. Theres no "pocket" to put something like the out door tech Chips ultra without modify the helmet. And putting ear buds in is just annoying. Can't believe Oakley overlooked this!
My ears hurt from using just airpods 🤨
i have a mod5 and the speaker pockets are there. rocking the chips in them kind of makes your ears hurt after a full day but it’s bearable.
@@tcmartin58 Where are they? There's not a designated pocket in which oakley designed with helmet speakers in mind. Yes there is a little "pocket" on the outside of the ear flaps. but my wired ones would hardly stay so I doubt that the wireless ones stay in place. Lastly you have the MOD5, depending on how old it is it may be a different design.
yeah i don’t have a mod7. just saying on my mod5 the pockets are there. and i got the mod5 right when it came out. you thinking the more recent mod5’s don’t have the headphone pockets anymore?
Is there enough room or pockets in the ear pads for speakers?
bump
I looked at one in a store and I don't see a way to put speakers in. The outside of the earcup does have a velcro pocket but the bottom of that flap isn't sown or velcroed so they would just fall out. Makes no sense sadly.
@@colton9841 thank you. as much as i like oakley lenses...this helmet is a pass.
@@knevil753 no problem. Same here, a bit bummed about it. The goggles fit great onto the helmet, and my face, but although the large is up to 61cm circumference which is my size, the sides of the helmet also dig in and create pressure points right above my ears. Wanted to love it.
@@colton9841 ouf. my gripe was the lack of low light lens options. thanks for that info too. its nice looking... but it should of met all checkmarks as a premium priced helmet. waste of tech as such a reputable brand.
Not sure if this is a review as it doesn't give any opinion on pluses and minus to buying. Cost and finger print issues with the fitting and removal seem to be some good negatives to this design.
Looks like a great product once fitted on the head but the convinience of use seems bad. Too many buttons to click. Hard to take off to a secured position.. People buy visors for ease of use and comfort.
have you got this in stock in store?
No sorry sold out, new one arriving September 2024 V2 model. With new updates and features.
How does the helmet fit with glasses?
Yes it does you have the option to not have the lens so tight to your face to help with this. Low volume glasses would be best.
Yeah but do all that with gloves or mittens on.
This is cool and all, until oakley moves on from this model and no longer making lenses to for these frames. This isn't cheap either, it's not like replacing just the cost of goggles. Had this happen to a couple of my older pairs of goggles from oakley. Cant find replacement lenses at all.
Yeah what about all those finger prints that you put on your lens, no mention there hey
For me it feels like I cant fit the helmet all the way down on my head, otherwise it hurts and size large is too big. Pricey helmet, well known brand but the worst fitment I ever tested. The helmet is awesome but I cant buy a helmet because of the design. Might be my headshape but every other helmet fits fine. Actually surprised that theres not more "hate" on the fitment out there.
I just bought one from Amazon. Size of my head is 57.5cm, hence I bought size M, which fits between the range of 55cm to 59cm.
Surprisingly, it is way too small...I am very disappointed...I am from Hong Kong, slim body with a pretty standard slightly small asian head. How could this not fit my head at all. It is more about the side of the helmet that doesnt fit. It is too narrow and I cant even wear it all the way down to my head.
I wear size M in other helmet, such as the Wed'ze, which also states it fits 55cm to 59cm.
I wonder why no one ever commenting on the size? I am pretty sure my head should fit most helmet in size M.
Anyone come across this problem?
I am also Asian and have the same head size as you. I have tried on various helmets in stores and found that the Global Fit M size helmets just barely fit in but are very tight. Global Fit helmets are long and oval, with a narrow width.
So I'd find out in advance whether what you want to buy is Asian fit or global fit, and choose size M if it's Asian fit or size L if it's global fit.
Perhaps your Wed'ze's were an Asian fit, or you just happened to get lucky with a model that fits the shape.
Amazon is not really the best place to buy Oakley products from, we have seen so many counterfeit Oakley products purchased from Amazon here in the UK. So very difficult to judge. You should purchase from your local store if you can or buy from an authorised dealer like us then you can always return for the next size or try on in store.
Norwegian here and I got the same problem as you, I think. Feels like I cant fit the helmet all the way down on my head, otherwise it hurts and large is too big. Pricey helmet, well known brand but the worst fitment I ever tested. The helmet is awesome but I cant buy a helmet because of the design.
How's the field of view? I have a wide, flat asian face so all goggles feel pretty much too narrow for me.
Its great
В России их не будет в этом году точно.
Not liking the helmet. First of all, the Goggles are very difficult to snap onto the top of the helmet. Second, it is very difficult to snap the goggles off the front and snap them on on the helmet with ski gloves on and when you do it with your bear hands you get finger prints all over the lens.
I wear glasses, so they'd be no good for me.

look at all those finger prints! im out
