Don't forget impact was the company that risked our lives to make a few dollars more per piece!!!

Enabling that behavior is as bad as committing that behavior!!!

Yep. I've never had Impact but when that deal with the SFI suits happened around 10 years ago, I decided never to even look into their stuff in the future.

I have an HJC helmet. I really like it. I have a really big head and had to find a helmet locally that I could try on and check the fit. The local shop had Bell HJC and a few other brands. The Bell would not fit my head. The HJC fit very nice and was comfortable. This is the second one I have purchased and would recommend it. Mine has a Snell 2015 cert.

I'm a big fan of RJS Racing equipment,.....especially their Helmets. I've been using one for a couple of years. For the money,...they are hard to beat. Not to mention,.....made in the good Ol' USA.

The RJS helmets are not made in the USA any longer. I am a dealer for them. The cost of making them and the chemicals and the EPA put a halt to them being cost competitive, but I don't object to their helmets at all. The Racequip Carbon Fiber Vesta15 I have had good luck and positive feedback from the customers. Keep in mind it is a composite with CF and Kevlar. That's why it's not $800+. One thing that is nice about them is they include extra cheek pads in a little thicker size to help get a custom fit for you. Keep an eye on the rating the SA rating is for racing and those helmets have been tested for repeated side impacts, like against a roll cage, unlike the other ratings such as an M.

I bought Racequip Vesta year ago, and cant imagine better fit and comfort. Better than my former Simpson Bandit, just half the price.

That's the one I've been looking at alot. I like the American flag on it.

 

[mrhockey]

Yeah I kinda figured that. Really liking some of the Impact helmets. And I like the racequip one with the American flag on it but it's not DOT approved or SFI. Not that my local track checks any of that but some of the big money races do.

I saw your last post about this helmet and had a minute to reply again. SFI does not approve helmets for racing. DOT helmets are NOT for racing. IF you are racing you want an SA rated helmet just like the one with the flag. Here is the link to it on my site. It looks like you might have some misinformation or not know what to ask. Here is a link to it on my site.

Yes glad you caught that. I had the SFI rating on my mind with my suit. SA was what I was meaning so thank you for catching me. That's the helmet I think I'm going with.

Hit me up and let me know what size. I can do better a lot than the MAP pricing on my site.

Wait a few months and grab a SA2020 helmet. You will be able to pass tech with the helmet for 12 years. If you buy the SA2015 you will need to buy a new helmet in 7 years. I have had a bandit since 2010 and at first i didnt really like the helmet, felt too tight and constricting but after the first season it broke in nice and I really like it. I will be replacing it with a carbon bandit when it is time.

 

[1BadRail]

Those carbon ones are nice expensive but nice!!

 

[bowtiekiller545]

ive had simpson voyager . bandit and another one . I did not like the fit espically during the summer . I used a g force from the speed shop at the track . I love it . I just ordered the carbon helmet . for me a good fit . awesome perrifferial vision . . at 499 how can you beat a carbon helmet .

RIP 1BadRail. I wonder how his family are doing, especially his nephew mentioned above as they lost their father just months before 1BR got sick.

Yeah, I’ve thought about him every so often when I get on here.
