The MOD 3 and MOD 5 styles for male and female skiers and snowboarders boast a Modular Brim System (MBS) that offers patented [helmet and goggle integration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/argus-ar-helmet), meaning that any Oakley goggle will fit these helmets, regardless of size. There's also the MAS, or Modular Accessory System, which means that the helmets are highly customizable. Other noteworthy design features include a lightweight in-mold shell, a zero-pressure ear cup and an integrated venting system, all of which prioritize comfort and safety on the slopes. While the MOD 3 and MOD 5 shares the same features for performance, what sets them apart is that the MOD 3 offers a more style-focused design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Brim System (MBS):** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integration of helmet and goggle for enhanced user experience in the winter sports industry. - **Modular Accessory System (MAS):** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Customizability of helmets to cater to individual preferences and needs in the winter sports industry. - **In-mold Shell Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Lightweight and safety-enhancing helmet design for improved performance in the winter sports industry. ### Where This Applies - **Winter Sports Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integration of modular systems and advanced helmet technology to enhance winter sports equipment offerings. - **Outdoor Sports Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduction of customizable helmet options to cater to different consumer preferences in the outdoor sports retail industry. - **Extreme Sports Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integration of advanced helmet technologies to offer lightweight and high-performance accessories for extreme sports enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Athlete-Approved Winter Goggles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-scape.md) - [Lightweight Surfing Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wtr-icon.md) - [Futuristic Winter Sport Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakley-flex-scape-gogglesunglasses-hybrid.md) - [Slope-Ready Winter Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beanie-helmet.md) - [Protective Communication Ski Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poc-obex-connect-helmet.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight Mountain Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otocon.md) - [Interchangeable Component Sport Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-helmet.md) - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md) - [Mirrored Winter Sport Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruroc-chrome-snow-helmet.md)
