New racing helmet. Full-face. PLEASE HELP.

Does anyone know anyone good I can get a Full face helmet from. I need a new helmet. Had a Bell M2 cuz of my glasses. I have NO idea what happend to it. I am looking for a cheap bell maybe a pyrotect. Obviously it has to be Snell rated. I just dont wanna pay 600 bucks again. I saw some no namers for 200. BUt they are pry not comfortable. G-force is cool but a little more than i wanna spend.

I know blah, blah, blah safety. Believe me it is my concern but if it has a Snell rating its safe. The price goes up cuz of comfort. Thats not a huge issue I just want a hook up if anyone has one. I will drive anywhere to not have to pay 200. Maybe someone has a used one laying around they dont need anymore. I wear a Large/7 1/4in/ 59-61cm.

Infineon is gonna make me have one for wednesday night drags and I need one for nasa season this year. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP. Thanks

Look under: Safety Equipment

It tells you how to get a decent price on helmets. Paul shipped one to me and one to my wife from the catalog, and the price was great.

Hey, I have a brand new thor force carbon helmet, size small though. It is under 3 lbs...........one of the best helmets you can buy its insanely expensive. Well I ordered it got it, they forgot to ship so I was forced to buy a ****ter fox helmet to use and I really can't afford the luxury of the baller helmet. I have the return slip and can get a refund, but if you want it for the same amm, 275 its all yours. Brand new not worn once, in box still.....craftsmanship is pretty impressive and I'm not just saying that the carbon fiber looks like it's layed really well...anyways shoot me a pm or call me 9259632153

Read your rule books and consider this fact- snell ratings renew every 4 years or so, most sanctioning bodies will limit eligibility to only the current and one or two previous snell certs, but older won't cut it.

In most cases, the current ones will be considerably pricier than the previous snell number, and older ones only get cheaper still, but very often a new one will pay for itself by not needing to get replaced as soon.

Also- comfort is not something to disregard, nothing sucks as bad as having to spend an hour or more in a helmet that makes your head hurt like hell...
