Another Simpson saved my life after multiple tumbles and thuds on concrete at over 80mph and well....
I hope their new Simpson helmets are as good the Made in China just scares me a little.
Ill probably be hard pressed to find a good Snell approved helmet made in the US ? Anyone know of any ?
Edit I also meant to mention, because of the ongoing "decertification" notices on SFI's website over the last year or so for Impact items, that is why I didnt buy a helmet of theirs, Fear Uncertianty and Doubt, this will have a Major Impact on Impacts business.... |
Chris, when I bought my Simpson Helmet a while back all of the ones that are sized S-XXL are made in China, the ones sized by hat size were made in the states
