Helmets

Anybody have any good recommendations for a good price site on Snell Helmets?

I know I know ... I am being lazy and not using the Search button ... but I am at work and the internet is working pretty slow today.

IMHO, If you can find one locally, (or drive for a bit) that'll be the best way to go.
"Fitting" a helmet online is kind of tough, and you don't want to have to ship a couple helmets back and forth till you get it right.
Your head is a rather important part, and an ill fitting helmet is almost as dangerous as not wearing one at all.

After all that...there are a couple good websites. (maybe you can fit locally, yet buy for cheaper online)

BTW,
You might want to read my latest post in your regional forums:

That's entirely weird that your local club is being more strict than the SCCA in it's helmet requirements.

G-Force has an outlet store online, don't remember the url, but google it, it'll pop up.
They sell discontinued and minor blemish helmets for cheap.

I tried on some helmets at a local motorcycle shop, then ordered the size that fit best.

If you're buying a SA helment though, I would try to buy locally.

I can take my helmet now and get the fitting out of that to get a new one right?

And WD40 thanks again for the info ... I am pulling those sites up now.

- - - - wrc_fan ... myself and several in our area are looking for local helmet shops ... but can't seem to find one ? ? ? wierd I know. I live in the 4th / 5th largest city in the Continental US and not a single helmet shop. Everyone I talk to order online.

^^^Be aware.
Helmet sizes vary by a huge amount depending on which brand.
Meaning, if you have a medium in Brand X, that doesn't mean a medium in Brand Y will fit...

Those helmet sites usually have fitment guides, but they're not necessarily that accurate.
