Love Titan. Not sure of other lids but the Titan is ECE rated. Correct me if I am wrong. DOT minimum standards, then Snell, and ECE is a higher protection. Hey, its only your head so go ahead and cheap out. Just something to think about.

I rode with a guy the other week who actually made a cable adapter for his wifes heated goggles to go to a 12v to USB adapter.

Fox rampage. Downhill helmet. No more foggy goggles cause your head always cold. Especially if you’re a head sweater like me. That’s what fog your goggles is your eyeballs.

I got the complete setup to just plug them into the power outlet in the glove box. I rarely have issues fogging up untill it gets cold so won’t use them much anyway. Might just try it with that for now. Can add a battery later, Dess key and unplugging googles every time I get off my sled would suck .

I'm new to a Carbon Titan Air-flow this year coming off a super-light Suomy. Love the helmet and the bit of extra weight compared to my Suomy is worth it for having a really comfortable helmet again.
The Titan goggles aren't that great to be honest compared to my old Zeal's that never fogged up, but I ended up buying a set of the CKX electric goggles with a big battery and keep it in my pocket, and normally just leave the battery on #2 all day. Once I got used to the battery pack and glued a velcro strap onto it so the cable doesn't come undone in my pocket, it's really good.

My nephew bought an Anker battery pack off Amazon and just made a USB to RCA charging cable adaptor instead of buying their expensive battery.

I like my CKX helmet as well. I am going to try the 509 goggles in mine. I like the quick change lens option of the 509. The CKX could improve on the goggles lenses change out.
Maybe the new ones are better. Mine is a few years old.

Ive had a CKX helmet since they came out. In fact I have 2 of them. IMHO they are a great helmet.
Not so much the goggles. The initial release of the goggles was a terrible piece of equipment. They didn’t last the season before they literally fell apart.
They are better now but they are still on the bottom of the scale as far as I am concerned. Lens change-out is a pita, they aren’t breathable causing fogging, and the lens quality isn’t comparable to other brands.
That’s my $0.02.

I’ve never used ckx goggles. They are the quality of Walmart and target products, I use Oakley heated goggles and Abom with the helmet. Have had 2 of them myself and had one for the wife as well as every riding buddy except one has switched over as well since I started using them
