It really depends on what you are looking for( price, size, style, etc....). but ones i have used in the past that id recc. are arai's GP5 and HJC's AR-10. But those were kinda $$$$.

I'm lookin at the sub-$250 range. Summit Racing is right up the road and they carry a ****-ton of G-Force, Simpson, and Zamp. There's just so many to choose from there i have trouble making the decision.

Get the one that fits the best. With Summit right up the road it should be pretty easy to figure out too.

I guess another question is, are you looking for open faced or a full helmet? I'm really happy with my G-Force Pro Phenom open faced. Though I do wish their "Modified" was around when I was buying helmets (The Hybrid was out of stock most places by then).

i have a full faced helmet, kinda regret it since you can see more easily with an open faced and they're lighter, just not as cool looking.

Go to a motorcycle store and try on different helmets. Sizes are different for each manufacturer, as well as virtually each model within a manufacturers product range. Find whatever is comfortable for you and make sure it has the necessary SNELL DOT markers on it. Buy online as it is almost always cheaper
I went with an open face helmet as it is more comfortable that a full face. |

I hate a full face helmet for AX. Give my an open face ANY TIME. Besides, there may be safety concerns running a closed face helmet in a car with airbags (although setting off airbags SHOULD be a non-issue at an AX).
The Pyrotect Open Face is pretty popular (I have one,too and I like it). |
