Impact 1320 Helmet
 
Anyone using the Impact 1320 helmet that would recommend it or not?
I need to upgrade before I head out this season.
I am also looking at the Simpson K10 or Voyager, but I am unsure if they are made in the US or offshore.
My Impact belts are the nicest I have ever used, but I have never tried one of their helmets.
Any guidance from current users is appreciated.
Thanks
Chad

First of all, buy a SNELL "SA" 2010 helmet, avoid the "M" helmets with liner in Nylon that melts and burn...
All cheaper helmets are made outside US. If you want a US made helmet you need to step up a bit in price. Some of the cheaper brands states "made in US", that's BS, their helmets are made over seas and only assembled in US.
As far as I know is Simpson the only US brand actually building their helmets buy hand in their TX factory.

Too many short cuts in the last couple of years,don't want to skimp out on a brain bucket.Both my daughters have Simpson.I ususally buy them off the trailer at national events,great deals and Alan and the girls are great to deal with.

I got an SA2010 Bell Sport at the beginning of last year. It's really nice, so much more comfortable than my old G-Force and not as expensive as a lot of the Simpsons, Impacts, etc.

I haven't used the Impact 1320 but I have an Impact SuperSport and like the fit and finish of it.

I just got a Impact 1320 . Nice helmet. Made in the USA. I orderd a Simpson and sent it back. Made in China.

Thanks for all the input.
I was leaning towards the Impact and this feedback helps me back up what I was thinking.
