#135822 tommyt (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 116 Helmets 2 Months, 1 Week ago   Talking to my Son today about Helmets.... I have a rather old full face Nolan Helmet, that fits me great and has almost no wind noise... Have a New G-Max that fits great also but has a tremendous amount of wind noise with a full shield on it. ( fine without shield).. My Son says to purchse a Snell rated Helmet that costs 4 to 6 hundred Bucks..... I told him I am mearly an electronic Technician and cannot see paying that much for a Helmet... He says... sure dad... "It's only your Head"... what do you guys think? Are the High Dollar Helmets worth the $ over the cheaper Helmets?   Logged     tommyt.....   The administrator has disabled public write access. #135827 sal (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 35 Re:Helmets 2 Months, 1 Week ago   Tell your son it would be a great Christmas gift. And you promise to act surprised.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #135831 javawave (User) Over 16801 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3500 Re:Helmets 2 Months, 1 Week ago   There are a lot of post here about helmets, one comes to mind that is linked to several articles about snell vs DOT rating. Just because a helmet cost 500 bucks doe not mean its a better helmet or will be less inclined to wind noise. If you run a search you will find the articles.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #135832 MitchellNJ (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 88 Re:Helmets 2 Months, 1 Week ago   I've got a DOT/Snell rated helmet that was $145 from HJC. No need to go top of the line Arai.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #135834 greyphart (User) bad idea+ experience = good judgement Platinum Boarder Posts: 1102 Re:Helmets 2 Months, 1 Week ago   There's a lot of quality helmets out there at more reasonable prices. I'm sure you'll find on that fit's your needs (and you son's). Good hunting.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1137 Re:Helmets 2 Months, 1 Week ago   There are some out there who assert that helmets made to the SNELL standard are actually too hard. By that they mean that while the helmet will pass the SNELL testing without damage, your head which is IN the helmet will take the punishment instead. Google SNELL vs. DOT and see what you get. I know a perfectly safe helmet can be had for way less than $500-600.

You can look them up on the Internet. And maybe find the article. I subscribe.

Ditto. $150-$200 is the most I'd give for a helmet, as long as it was DOT AND Snell rated. Anything more than that really seems exorbitant.   Logged     Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.

The Snell rating does not garner the same clout it used to.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access.
