Helmets
Do you know where to get helmets for a decent price and would you recommend any?

Got any recommendations for Auto-X and maybe some track events? By 2005, Snell 2000 Helmets will be required. I would like something not too expensive, confortable and compliant to the Snell 2000 standard.
I really don't know anything about helmets! Thanks a lot!

I picked up a Bieffe Predator at Summit Racing this past summer. Nice helmet for the money. They offer prepainted replicas which are pretty cool for the money.

Not to mention, who knows how many times this "New, In Box" helmet has been dropped on the showroom floor. It's a toss-up on ebay, and for something as important as a helmet, I'd recommend doing it right the first time as you may not get a second chance!
Not that you have to go spend $300 on a Simpson (what I did, due to time constraints), but it's a good idea to go try it on. Who'd have known I actually fit nicely in a JR size helmet when I thought I'd fit (judging by measurements) in a helmet 3 sizes bigger than a JR? Fitment and comfort is important when you'll be spending 30 hot, sweaty minutes at a time (or more!) in it while driving at 10/10ths and you still can't shake the civic behind you. |

i just bought a helmet for $80, because the bike store was going out of business. It was originally a $150 helmet. My problem is on the sticker on the back, it only says Snell approved and DOT. It doesn't say a number or anything. What's up with that?
