Anyone know where to get one of these Snell 2015 helmets on the cheap in the LA area?
Thanks.

Thanks Weather Man but, thats no cheaper then I've found. I would like to go open face this time but I have found some horrible matrix pattern full face Spectre's for a C note as a last choice.
Anyone else.
Thanks!

I'm assuming you just want one for drag racing your 11 second car. I understand that a serious crash is unlikely, but a helmet is one thing I would urge you to reconsider cheaping out on.

I personally would never trust an open face helmet.

While I appreciate your opinion, every time I go to Irwindale the trailored big inch king of the hill boys are mostly wearing open face helmets. I just don't want to pay $400 for an open face Bell helmet.

I only paid 600 for my carbon fiber Simpson.

I guess if your head is only worth $200...

So by your guidelines your head is only worth $600. Maybe you should really invest in a $25,000 dollar helmet.
I personally don't see anything lacking in my HJC Snell M2005.

Except it is a motorcycle helmet not designed for things you'll likely impact inside a car interior. Different specs and different certification tests.

I think Simpson has a factory store in harbor city. I haven't made the drive to go check it out but I'm in the market for a new helmet as well as mine has expired this coming new year.

I purchased my full-face HJC M2010 a few years ago for around $140. I see they are about the same price now.

The Simpson store in Harbor City. My club arranged a tour of the uniform production line there. they also offered 10% off for everyone. They have blems there that are often pretty well priced. I figured my old neck muscles would appreciate a super light helmet.

I am using HJC, and its wired from PCI radios, worth every penny. try not to skimp on safety. its something you never want to test, but can be the difference from walking away or being a vegetable.(don't buy a fly helmet)

That's a good deal.

On black Friday I got a Bell M.8 Carbon for $660, I had never seen it lower than $799 so I went for it and I'm glad I did. I've been using my current cheapo HJC M2005 for like 10 years now. I figure if I keep it for 10 years, that's not much money per year.

Okay, ready for 2017. Got it for $100 off msrp. Snell 2015.

I don't see any Hans or other neck restraint attachment points..... If your using factory 3 point belts there are hybrid systems that will work.
