What brand and where are you guys getting your helmets ?

 

I got my g-force from

www.summitracing.com

www.gforce.com

best price/quality I could find.

 

I use a Simpson Voyager, best peripheral vision of 5-6 different styles and brands I tried. May not look as cool as the bandit or others, but it's SO comfy.

In the end it's what will fit YOU though, Behrents.com has all of them as well.

 

I have the Simpson Diamondback and I like it but the part in the middle that comes up over your nose pretty much blocks any chance at seeing the dash without looking down. My shift light is about 4" up off the top of my dash so it's in my line of sight and not blocked by the helmet.

 

I Bought mine off of this webside http://www.helmetcity.com/

 

Thank you guys, I'm trying to find a happy medium, I have seen prices from $150.00 to 3k

 

Some people say, you cant put a price on your head... But I just got the most inexpensive Snell approved helmet I could find. Check with your track tech and ask what they are looking for... I know there alot of SFI/snell/DOT certs.. etc...

 

I know exactly what you mean........safety should be first. I need something that will comply with the "General" rules of most tracks, without breaking the bank. Maybe something in the $400.00 range ?

 

check ebay store helmet depot. they got many to choose from with the best prices i could find. i have always used pyrotect helmets, but have tried simposon, gforce and pyrotect.

 

tony the breath guard should just pull out? but i could be wrong.

also search scorpion helmets. im not too sure about what tracks look for but i know they have some snell rated helmets for 150$

 

G force from summit..

 

I've got the Simpson Super Bandit. It doesn't block my vision at all. Then again, it doesn't have the same nose piece that the Diamondback has.

Can't go wrong with any Simpson or Impact helmet though.

 

i bought mineoff that site i listed for $115 + shipping.. It is legal everywhere i go.. i am not sure What ET/MPH limit is has though.

 

I've been using my old motorcycle helmet...

I'll be getting this for my bday..

So many freaking choices,lol, the Simpson Diamondback looks like something from Star Wars, looks cool do, so does the Simpson Super Bandit

 

lol, I love that helmet. One of my customers has one and its really nice. I want one of those ****ers. Just dont want to pay for it.

 

I should just use my old darth vader helmet from my old costume! looks just like it!

I will be using a motorcycle helmet that has already saved my life once so im pretty sure it can do it again!

 

i had an old bell open face, and needed a full face. chad colvers friend with the rsx had one at etown and i got it from him. fits well. and relatively inexpensive.

 

I have a snell approved helmet, local track requires snell aproval, it was around $350. It fits great and I can see everything very easily.

 

this is where i got mine. its for bikes but they are awsome helmets. & legal.
i got the gun slinger. its got air vents for when i ride my shifter cart & its legal for drag racing as well

I just picked up a scorpion, seems really nice.

$100 even shipped, snell/dot approved.

 

rockin a scorpion helmet (back from my sport bike days) cheap helmet but fits/feels really good. Really good about not fogging too.

Also they are snell approved.
