Anything DOT certified will work. Which ever one you like most... None are really better then others. Basically you're paying for a brand if you want something more expensive. As long as its not one of those dumbass cup helmets harley guys wear will work...
I have a Scorpion EXO-400. For $130 it's the best helmet you can buy. Sure it's missing some features like nice air flow. I had an X-11 prior. It got destroyed at the track.
If you watch you can sometimes pick up an EXO-400 for under $50.00 when they sell of last year's graphics.
Checked out a few local helmet shops near me to get fitted and ended up buying an Arai helmet (which was what I was leaning towards) @ The Helmet Harbor..also online @ The Helmet Harbor, LLC if anyone is looking for a good shop! Anyways, thanks again for the help fellas
Kinda crappy move of the year: using local dealers to find products, then ordering online. Always try giving them a chance to compete on price and, if they come close, keep it local. Otherwise, you might not have the same resources next time.
The helmet harbor is a local shop to me which is where I bought the helmet...but for people not so local I posted their website link above if they wanted to check it out. The Helmet Harbor, LLC.
Ended up buying the Firstgear textile jacket from HelmetHarbor.com! I found a discount code online "discount8" and it gave me an 8% discount on top of the discount so ended up saving quite a bit...I posted a link and want to see what you guys think.......Firstgear Mesh-Tex Jacket (Men's & Women's) - The Helmet Harbor, LLC. It is textile/mesh so hopefully keep me cool in the AZ heat
Better than no jacket at all. Textile is good, but I wouldn't trust my skin to mesh. I used to have a jacket that was mesh with leather on the parts most likely to make contact with the ground. That was a cool concept and I'm surprised more manufacturers don't do that. Do you have pants? Riding boots? Gloves? If not, get them ASAP.
