    Helmet Suggestions

    So if I run at Cresson next weekend I will need a new helmet. I searched as I thought there was some helmet discussion. Anyone have a recommendation on the new 2015 stuff?

    ONLY concern... since it was brand new I had a little trouble getting my glasses on.

    This is the make/model I had before and was super happy with it. At the Houston race I had zero fit issues after essentially replacing the old one.

    I'm superstitious, I have always used Bell. The next one will have a cooling fitting on top.
    Smiley's Racing in Mesquite stocks quite a few different manufacturers.

    bought this last fall. Very comfortable, and has plenty of air vents. attachments can be installed for forced air.

    I run an El cheapo Bell 2010 helmet. I'd like to hear what you all have to say about tinted visors.

    I got this one before the start of last season and am quite happy with it...super light compared to my old one and has all the features I care about except a blower port which I'd probably only use at Hallett. I don't remember where I ordered it from but it was <$300 shortly after the 2015's hit the shelves. It's a 2010 cert but I have absolutely no desire to use the same helmet for 10 years. I got 5 years out of my old one and that was 1-2 years too long....

    Tried it and found it was only right for me once, maybe twice a day. I could never remember to change back and forth between rounds so I just stuck a pair of sunglasses in the car and called the problem solved.

    We bought one of these for Jay for Christmas. It is not heavy at all and I think Jay said it is very comfortable.

    Appreciate the info guys. Now if there was only a Helmet Locker down the street that I could go try all of them on. Does anyone know if there are any real benefits to one over another from a safety standpoint? Basically wondering if any provide better safety than the next since they are all SA2015 rated.
