Thread: Time for a new helmet.

  1. #1

    Default Time for a new helmet.

    I sold my old M2000 helmet and need to get a new SA2010 helmet. Looking for good value and possibly a local place to try some on to get correct fitment.

    Any recommendations?

    Smiley's in Mesquite is the best. I spent an hour in there this past week trying on helmets and Hans. All in stock. http://www.smileysracing.com/shopping/?ic=1186
    For real direction, get help from the heavy-set guy w glasses at the first register on your right when you walk in. He wears the stuff and helps a lot. (Example: which brands are best when wearing glasses/sunglasses)
    Don't go into this blind. Go to Smileys and wear the helmet around the store before you buy.
    Best,

    Smiley's and the race shop at MSR are the best places. I tried on a bunch of different brands before realizing that Bell fit my head the best. And if you wear regular or sunglasses on the track, be sure to bring them along when you test-fit.

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.
