Default Best place to buy a racing helmet online?

Looking for something not too expensive with a Snell 95 rating. Thanks.

Default Don't get a '95 which will be obsoleted in 3-4 years by enthusiast events including AutoX.

But if you insist on 95, then find one in EBay.

If you are looking for SA2005, one of the cheapest but good ones are made by G-Force. You can even get graphics versions too, unless you are looking for plane white or in rare offerings, black

Check out one of my favorite source for race equipment link.

Also ask in the motorsports forum for advice.<ul><li><a href="http://www.pitstopusa.com/Categories.aspx?ID=1054">pit stop USA</a></li></ul>

Default This is the one I bought...

The Snell SA2005 helmets are cheap enough that you should buy the most current technology. It is your head...<ul><li><a href="http://soloracer.com/pyrofullfacesa.html">Pyrotect Helmet - Full Face SA2005 $248.00</a></li></ul>
