Scroll down to the forced air helmet. I just saw these and was wondering if anyone had heard of them?

They say the meet or exceed the SNELL 2005 standards. They are SA rated.

In any event, I was curious about them. They seem a little too inexpensive.

We've seen samples, like most products from China, they're not bad for the price.
I'd spend 50.00 more and get a G Force, or save another 150.00 and get Bell that is made in the USA.

I've actually got a G-Force Helmet and I like it.

I've been eyeing the new HJC SA helmets and I am thinking about going that route. I was just curious about these when I ran across them.

I have seen a lot of these in the kart racing scene. People buy them because they are cheap. My son has raced karts for 6 years and has 2 Simpson helmets. I personally would not put him on the track in a Zamp.
G-Force makes a really good helmet.

Helmets, just like fire suits, are not something to go "cheap" on.

Just my 2 cents...

I've trieed a few of them. 2 were the excat same helmets shipped in the same box, same size and everything but one fit nice and the other was way too small. They're sizing was inconsistant of 3 helmets I tried no 2 fit the same. Also they wouldn't cover my chin like the g-force and HJC helmets do of the same size. good enough to get you through tech but I'm saving up for a G-force or HJC when it comes time to buy a new one to race with.

When the SA rule change came about, PCI contemplated carrying them as a very economical helmet (they are very inexpensive) but the manufacturer had a hard time keeping up with supply.

If anyone does have any of these and would like some shields, we have some left over we'd be willing to get rid of at a discount. We also have a medium open face left (SA rated) if anyone else is interested
