[QUOTE="David Hester, post: 6229191, member: 6794"] Another thought for convertible owners. Since you are going to need a rollbar, think REAL seriously about your helmet, too. Snell SA almost always have laminated shells, as opposed to many Snell M helmets that are single layer injected plastic. Those laminates are so helmet can take repeated hits against a rollbar and still remain pretty much intact. A M helmet can crack/ split with 1st hit, leaving just an inch or so of styrofoam to protect your head...... Spend the extra bucks for a SA helmet. Also the SFI foam will take a hit and go back to original shape instantly, the soft foam stuff may or may not. This ain't a cheap hobby. ;-) [/QUOTE]
