Default Re: helmet

Why not buy american made and buy Impact, or RJS? See if any of the others state where they are made. That goes for Bell, Simpson, and GForce. Impact is made in Indy, and RJS is made in Michigan.

I have been trying to buy a impact 1320 large in white for 6 months, they keep pushing the build date ahead.

Have you looked at Jegs? It shows ship date would be January 5th 2017 if ordered today. That's a white large 1320. I did see that they have a longer lead time. RJS are in stock thru Jegs.

My Impact full face expires this year so I have been doing some research on helmets. I think spending money on the safety item that makes you function on a daily basis is worth a few hundred dollars.

I would really like the impact but cant wait another season, the rjs wed site says they are made at the same factory as bell. I wanted a bell helmet because they are local to me, but I have seen that they are made offshore. so I don't really know which way to go. If I can confirm the rjs is us made, I will go that route.

I hate to have to ask this, but I have no rule book to look at. How long can we use an SA2010 helmet?
Thanks.
