Kneedraggers has it for the same But It Now price.

I'm sure you can find it cheaper then that. They are good helmets. Known for wild creative graphics.

I love my Suomy Spec-1r. The designs are wild and the fabric is pretty nice. They're kind of loud though

Nothing wrong with Suomy, really.

If you ask me, the best helmets are Shoei, Sumoy, and Arai, with Arai having a slight edge. I have worn Arai helmets since before I even started riding bikes, they just fit my head so darn well.

I'd be wary of buying a helmet online, since you can't try it on. Unless you already know how that particular model and size fits you.

For example, I can wear either a M or L in Arai. But a M in Shoei really hurts my head. Now I know what I can buy online, and what I shouldn't buy.

Be sure it fits, or you'll have a $400 paperweight.
