I'm making a trip to Talledega in March and I've planned to invest in a decent helmet. I also autocross every now and again so the helmet must be good for both. I've sampled the G-force pro force one and do not like the material that lined the inside. I would love to hear about your experiences with different helmet brands and types (closed/open-face) to help me make a decision. TY.

I bought a Bell M2 Pro helmet there, and its very nice.

 

the road racing forum is a batter place to look. please do a search. but i have a bell mag-4 open face. an inexpensive helmet. i am just a beginner, so it all works out.

i think i'll have to pay them a visit to buy my helmet. i wonder how far it is from me, VA is a few hrs (4 i think)

 

Thanks for the quick replies guys.

 

contact Victor (97 Type-R 312) he can probably help you out.

good prices and a good seller

 

I also got a Bell Mag-4 as my first helmet. It's Snell SA-approved for around $200. The Bell SR Pro is also a good value for a Snell SA-approved helmet if you want something closed-faced.

 

I'd only consider closed face helmets. If you really need to use the helmet then allowing me to chew on the steering wheel isn't a feature I need my helmet to have

I have a simpson super voyager and I really like it. Got it from Victor last year.

 

anybody selling theirs? i'm kinda poor

 

Bell is what I stand by. I use to run with the Arai GP-5 but the helmet sits way to high on my head and lifts up in formula cars and karts. If i were you, I'd get the Bell Vortex. It is up there in price but, its really nice and i haven't had any complaint about it.

 

When I bought my current helmet, I tried measuring my head and having it shipped from my local store (~an hour away), only to find that it was extremely uncomfortable. I then went there to try on several more before I found one that was comfortable. So that is something to consider. If you have a store in your area where you can try helmets on, you may want to buy one there.

Right now you will want to get a helmet rated SA2000...

 

I stopped by Barnetts Performance (local Atlanta shop) to try on some helmets because I have a relatively small head. They only carried G-force which I felt was pretty cheap in quality. Does anyone know of a better performance shop around the Southeast area?

 

hit me up fro EXPO participant pricing!

Thanks,
Victor

 

OGRacing is blowing out their XL and XXL Bieffe F1-GPVs for $399, which is a steal, considering they were $600 new. I might even replace my Bell M2 w/ it, because its not the lightest of all helmets... Small, Large, and XL Bieffe Predators are available for $283 a piece...

 

I've done some research and I've settled on the Simpson Voyager. They have a limited edition one available right now, but I'm just going with the regular one. It's around $300 and a friend of mine who rolled his car is still around because of his.

 

Always try on before you buy... or be willing to send it back once or twice to get the correct fit.
