I need a helmet for going AUto Crossing in about 2 weeks and I need a good place that sells them for reasonably priced or cheap but that stil has a snell rating of 90 or newer M or SA.

I also need to figure out what my helmet size is. I tried searching, any ideas?

I'll work with you on it if you are interested.

 

Coleman Powersports in VA
helmets from cheap to expensive
all styles,colors,etc.

good shop

 

There's lots of good online places, like HelmetCity.com and SoloPerformance.com. They have size guides and tell you how to measure your head, plus they have return policies that are pretty good.

I just ordered a new autocross helmet online. It's an HJC CL-15, and it's Snell M2005 rated. It was just over $100, but if you want cheaper, $80 is about as low as they go for an M2000.

Are you running in WDC region solos at FedEx field? For SCCA solo, M or SA90 is no longer allowed. An M2005 will last you 5 more years than a M2000.

 

damn, the ones on the sites u listed r cheap, but good

 

I use my Arai RX7 Corsair, not made for cars but they work.



try it on first! and try to get removable inserts!

 

Check out your local motorcycle dealers. If nothing else, you can ensure you know exactly what size you need. Then you can buy from whereever you please.

 

schweet. ty for all the replies. ill look into it

 

Check your rules for your area b/c I know they are fixing to stop the use of all closed in helmets in my region.

 

they have alot of different clubs,organizations that run auto-x events
most will allow any closed face helmet, not very strict on rules, but SCCA is very tough

 

Check with your local region about the Snell 90 allowance—the Philly region no longer allows the 90, we've moved on to 95 or newer. Also, as someone mentioned above, make sure a closed faced helmet is permited, there has been some discussion about the harmful effects of an airbag going off while wearing a full face helmet—nothing conclusive though. I use a full face helmet because most track day events require them.

Also be aware there is a difference in a motorcycle (M) helmet and a sport application (SA) helmet and some events won't allow an M rating.

Look at Soloracer: G-Gorce are the least expensive followed by Pyrotect and Bell.

If you've got the cash look at Simpson..if I had the cash I'd get myself the Bandit:
