Helmet Recommendation

Need a helmet for the Rausch Creek Run...suggestions?

I use a klim f4 for everything....

Do you do any drag or road racing? If so, be sure to look for Snell SA2010 rating, which a motorcycle helmet will NOT meet.

Got a local Cycle Gear? Stop by and try on several to make sure you get the fit right. Pick one too tight, even by a little bit, and you'll end up with headaches.

In terms of style, I run with an "open face" SNELL SA2010 rated helmet (overkill maybe for inside the truck use, but I don't like to mess around when it comes to my brain cases. Also the track/event will usually give you a required rating too, so be sure to check that.) Much like one of these from Summit: RaceQuip SA2010 Open Face Helmets - SummitRacing.com

I have a left over flight helmet I use it fits its comfortable and is labeled do not remove until inspected by authorized medical personell ... Has mic and coms unit in it also so works for me..

no other motorsports.

I just run a G-Force pro phenom open face helmet. It's snell sa-2010 rated and it's light and comfortable.

Good discussion. I am looking for a helmet too. Needs to be Snell SA2010 rated.

Any suggestions on vendors or locations I can look at?

I would recommend trying helmets on in person, if possible. Some of the motorcycle helmets may have a similar fit to the same manufacturer's automotive helmets. Fit can also be different from brand to brand.

Cycle Gear (I am pretty sure they are nationwide) has a lot of locations. Also, UPR.com has a good selection, good prices and a friendly return policy. Trey set up a deal with them last year.
