Which Helmet?

Rod Greene · 07-04-2023, 04:50 AM

Starting my search for a new helmet. It will be SA2020 full face. Which ones do you prefer? From my Harley days I know there is a big difference in fit,I have an oval head and some helmets leave a huge dent in my forehead so any insight on better brands for fit. Also,viewing area any brand,model better than others? Summit seems to have a huge selection, so I intend on stopping in Tx on my trip home and trying a few to see what works best for me but was hoping to narrow it down a bit before then.
Thanks, Rod

Good idea to make the trip to try them on, now with that said I would recommend looking at one that pays contingency, I believe Simpson, zamp, and impact are listed. Support those that support us.

Keith is correct, best to try a couple of different brands on as everybody has a different shaped head. I personally like the Bell models.

What about the lite weight carbon fiber models?
Better for fit and feel?
