New Helmet - Tom Day - 01-01-2018
I just ordered a new Bell helmet from revzilla at 44 percent off if anybody is looking for one.Deals on other brands too. No hassle return policy.

Best helmet value I am aware of is the Typhoon, available from Amazon. $119. These are nice helmets.

Never heard of that mfg, does not mean it's not good though. Mine is a Bell Vortex. $180 helmet for $100.
RE: New Helmet - Jim Waltz - 01-03-2018
The Bell Vortex is a good close-out buy at $100.
It is, however, a 2010 Snell helmet that will be out of date in 2 years.
The Typhoon is a very nice helmet (I have two of them), and is a 2015 Snell, good for another 7 years.
5 more years for $20.
Youse pays yer money and youse takes yer choice......

The $100 Bell Vortez CLOSE OUT deal at revzilla is a 2010 Snell.
Youse pays yer money and youse takes yer choice.......
(and I expect that GW would actually outlast a 2010 Snell helmet.....)

Gary, I went on my head at Delmar so I figured I should get a new one! Mine was 6 years old anyway. Everyone needs to ask their self how much is my head worth?
