The helmet I have is a Snell 1990 and out of date for PCA events. I noticed some brands of helmets that I've never heard of (mostly M2R and KBC) on ebay and was just wondering if there was anything fundamentally wrong with them. They are advertised as being Snell certified.
Here's one for $50: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=7958629852 And here's one for $35: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=7959214364 Please no lectures on the value of my head. If these helmets are truely rated Snell2000 then they should do the job. I'm not racing. I'm only going to be doing AX and some DE. I'd buy a nice SA rated helmet if the SA2005 helmets were on the market already. |
