I have only ever had 1 SA rated helmet, and it is the one that I've had for over 10 years. I waited for the SA-2000's to be released (1999) and got a Simpson. I have been very pleased w/ how it has held up durring the insane use it has seen in those 10 years. I'm looking at replacing it w/ a Simpson Voyager. My old helmet had no face shield provisions (originaly got it for auto-x use), so the new one must have a shield.
Since I've not had to deal w/ shields w/ this helmet, I do not know what to lookout for w/ helmets that do. Are any universal? By that I mean, does Simpson helemts only accept Simpson shields? Bell only Bell shields, so on and so on?
HANS ready? I would figure most would come pre-drilled now for HANS anchors. Is that what you guys are finding?
If you havea brand you do not like, I would like to know and know why. Have you used more than one brand? If so, which did you like better? The old saying "What's your head worth?" comes to mind. Money = mo betta?

Feedback please.
