as mentioned above, as long as it is snell 95 or better, you're in. You can buy brand new helmets for around $100-$150 bucks open or closed face from most motorcycle and/or speed shops, and check out jegs/summit as well. If you want the best, simpson and bell are about $250 and up.

big difference b/w a cheap helmut and a helmut on sale. i dont see the reason to spend big bucks if you dont have to.
