 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone know of anywhere that specialises in these? mine is currently fine, but just think it would be prudent to have a spare visor put away somewhere.
Its a Cairn Cosmos Chromax.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@ster, I can't believe that site exists  how bizarre.
@t44tomo, Have you tried any Cairn retailers? Also have you checked whether it's actually easy/possible to fit a replacement?

@t44tomo, I got a replacement visor for my Cairn helmet, was trying to remember where - it was a ski shop in Bourg St Maurice, so probably not much help.
(Though France is best for Cairn kit)

I got mine (for an atomic helmet) from SnowInn. I’m pretty sure that they’re drop shipping, but as long as you don’t mind a wait, mine turned up on time and was as described.

yes i found that one, but different model helmet from those listed as compatible so probably wouldn't fit.
@under a new name, its dead easy to fit a replacement, I take the current one off and put it inside the helmet when transporting it. I think that's how most visors work so you can swap around for darker and lighter lenses if needed (like decent goggles), although mine is photochromatic so changes with the light level.
Thee are about 3 "cairn" retailers in the UK, with nothing suitable listed on their websites, although they may order in, obviously loads in France which might be next step

@t44tomo, If your current one is OK, can you wait until you go skiing in France? The replacement I got wasn't specifically listed as for my helmet - I just looked at it and it had the same fittings as mine so went with it. That's only really possible in person though.

If I ever skied in France that would be a plan...
Fittings do look pretty standard, as long as the distance between the drilled holes are identical so it matches the helmet curvature.
I sense few emails to Cairn stockists coming on...
cheers all.
