I've been reading all the info I can about how to select a motorcycle helmet. Apparently, not all helmets are equal, and my head is worth far more (to me) than whatever I invest in a helmet. Within reason, cost is not an issue on this safety piece.
While looking around, I realized that many were Snell rated. So, does this mean that my motorcycle helmet can pull double duty as an autocross helmet? -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

Thanks for all the good info.
Yes, I ride, but not recently. I have an opportunity to pick up a new Sportster Custom at an excellent price. So, I need a new helmet. My head is worth more than any helmet, of course. Since the purpose of a helmet is safety, I want to buy the best quality and fitting helmet I can afford. If that means getting two helmets, so be it. I've seen discount helmets in the 100 dollar range... but that just seems too cheap. I figure that I should budget 500, including visors, neckpadding, etc. But, considering I do one autocross a year (maybe), I was looking for input as to what some groups do. All, thanks again for the input! -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
