Default Affordable helmet
I need to buy a helmet so I can stop using the gross *** rental ones from the track; have been looking around a bit and came up with two that look pretty good at the $300 price level.

The first one is the Simpson Voyager and the second is the Impact Wizard helmet.

Both have the SA2010 cert and are full face with visor. A lot of guys over at yellowbullet like the Impact helmets which are made in the USA as a bonus.

Does anyone have any feedback on these helmets? Or is there another one for around the same price that is way better? I know safety equipment is never a place you want to go cheap on so any feedback is much appreciated!

I went the cheap route and got mine for under $100.

Double check the SA date to make sure you get the most bang for your $....mine was only good for 3 years and time for a new one as well....
