Default Helmets...

What do you guys suggest for a helmet? I can get either a G-Force or RCI Snell M2000 w/o the nomex for $140. Which would you guys suggest?

RCI has been around a little longer than G-force, and I use their belts and know they make good stuff.

1 vote for RCI

Do you think that 140 is a pretty decent deal?

depends on whether that price is for a full-face or not. 140 is about average for a non-simpson or bell helmet full-face, open face helmet would be 10-20 bucks cheaper

Well, I went down to the local bike/atv dealer. I bought a full face HJC for 150. It's prettty sweet, and fits better than the RCI I had here at work. I just wish it wasn't snowing and the track was open

Here's a pic (the colors on mine are a little bit different I think):

Those are only Snell 95. It is my understanding that 95 is obsolete, and M2000 is the recent Snell rating???
