Looking to buy or borrow a Snell 2000 or newer helmet to use at Rock Falls on the club race day.

I have a small head (no jokes about it being due to a lack of hair either please... :wink:) so would probably need a Small in size.

Let me know if you've got one.

Thanks.

Just go buy a racequip for a buck and a half.. Its SA2010 rated.. and should be good for years to come.

GEEZ Stan, I don't think I'd go around admitting that, but hey, good for you. At least you're owning up to it.emote.img?ID=15283

Speedway has FULL face helmets for $140. However they are SA05 but will still be good for at least another 5 years.

Personally I wouldn't use anything but a full face, but that's just me.
Another thing. I've found helmets (all brands) to run a little on the small side. RCI's chart says I should have a size large but it was too tight. I had to go with an extra large. (and yes, I have a big head)

I think CA Performance stocks some helmets. Stop by, also talk to Francis @ a club meeting there again, plus maybe some advertising???

Just buy one. I have this model. It is snell and I wear it at Rock Falls.

It's a HJC CL-31 model.  The open face is much nicer.

Thanks Winston.  That looks like a good deal.

Since you said you've used it at Rock Falls, I'm guessing the 'Snell & DOT Approved' is adequate?  The ad doesn't specify which Snell rating it is approved to.

Maybe Tony H. knows.

  • Constructed of lightweight injection molded polycarbonate
  • Two piece channeled dual density expanded poly-styrene liner for shock absorption and direct channeling air flow
  • Channeled adjustable forehead vents with venturi rear exhaust vents create a flow-through ventilation system
  • Comfortable plush brushed Nylon interior with sewn-in crown pad
  • Nylon strap retention band with double D-ring neatly secure chin strap
  • Comes with 3 snap black visor
  • Snell and D.O.T approved
  • Weight of medium helmet 2lb. 9oz.

I just went and looked at mine. It's SNELL 2005, so good to go for a long time.

Its certainly cheap enough.. If thats what you are after..

The one I listed is very similar to my Bieffe.. and probably what Ill buy to replace it when it goes out of spec.

Winston, thanks for checking the Snell rating.  Looks like I'll be placing an order soon!

Tony, it's just hard for me to justify spending $150-300 for a helmet I will use once or twice a year.  If I raced as much as you do, I'd definitely step up to a higher level.
