Recommendation on helments

sig11 · 01-11-2011, 01:21 PM

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Bell M4. It's really comfortable and cheap SA2005 helmet. You can pick it up for less than $400 pretty easily and it's HANS compatible if you ever go that route.

All these sound great. Going to have to make a decision. The Arai does look good.

I think the bandit was 300 at summit and had all the ratings necessary as well.

P.S is that your dog in the ava?

I'm going to look at the bandit this weekend. Summit racing is right down the road.

That was my dog. Non replaceable . Name was Hiedi. Was a ex police dog we got from someone. Had for years. I love German Shepards. There the only dog to have. I plan to get another when I have lots of time to train.

I like German Shepard's, great dogs and easy to train.

A couple of places are having blow outs on overstock SA 2005 helmets. Here's one. Sizes are pretty much limited to tiny and huge at this point.

I have a shoei open face SNELL + DOT approved helmet - use it for the track - only problem is you need to also have some form of eye cover so if you got some sunglasses you will be all good. And since its not a full face - it breathes AWESOME - except it cost a fuckload

I just might call them. Might be my calling there. I wear a small, almost a medium. Depends on the make. 22'' is my head size.

Here is my helmet. Not most peoples' first choice, but it is a free loaner from the US Army.

I don't think that's SA2005 compliant...
