So do those of you with a BV2S helmet use the replaceable absorbant pads in the mouth piece?

I see reuseable ones for sale on eBay such as

Are they better?

IF SO, any idea what type of fabric is used?

I heard/read somewhere that some had used nursing pads, anyone tried this?

I have a modular helmet and i use the nursing pads . Way cheaper than the doo replacments. A box of nursing pads are like 2-3 bucks for 50-100 pads , compared to doo's 10 for 10. Plus i carry a few extras for when your sheild gets wet 1 wipe and its clear most of the time you can reuse it , unlike a napkin or t/p .

nursing pad thats a good tip. :rolleyes: :lookaround:

I use the same....get the super absorbant ones..and they will last you all day plus some.

Do you have to cut them to size to work in a BV2S?

Depends on what size pads you get. I here the Dolly Partons will act as a sled cover or a slush gaurd which ever you please. :D

And if you get lost and cold in the wilderness you can use them as a blanket

On ours I just trim the sides about a 1/4" , just to keep them from blocking off the holes .I did try them without trimming them and they work , but alittle to close to the holes. Every once in a while it will move and start to block up a hole , trimming them works perfect and they stay put.

What about the hole in the centre?

I have a modular helmut and I stopped using the pads altogether. They seem to drain ok and I do not get any liquid sloshing around in there. I use a towel to wipe it dry when i take it off. I smoke and the pads were pretty stinky after riding all day.

I Just use a paper towel or even better the Blue shop towels in my Modular helmet. Disposable and Free at every Gas Station!
I fold it down so that it is basically rolled up in the bottom of the deflector so that I dont have it against my Mouth!

I bought a Syn. Chamois at CTC for 10 bucks and traced a bombi BV2S pad on on it.
I cut out 6 pads a bit bigger than the Bombi ones(they shrink a bit after they've been washed a few times) and didn't needed to use more that 2 all last year. Used a hot safety pin to melt the fold for the 2 upper tabs.
They are washable and re-usable. I often only use 1 for the whole day because you can take it out give it a squeeze and it's good to go again.

Thanks for that tip, I think I am going to try this.

I'm off topic a little........but, whenever we make a stop, I unfasten both snaps of my mouth piece and put the mouthpiece over one of my vents on the hood......When we go to leave that thing is nice and toasty warm, you would not believe how good it feels... (sometimes its really cold when you go to put that back on.) this totall eliminates this.

Get the Gerber pads no trimming they fit
