Bell Helmets

What is a good web site to use for the purchase of a Bell helmet? Thanks.

While we do not carry helmets, sometimes I wish we did, but the BEST service I have received (what we try to emulate) was from Discovery Parts. www.discoveryparts.com

I spoke to a fellow there for 30 minutes, him helping me pick out what helmet I needed and why.

when i had my crotchrocket i wore AGV helmets which I loved - great quality, great fit and excellent safety ratings. you can check them out at: agv.com/index_usa.htm

if i start to autocross with my boxster (guess i better get the vibration worked out first ), I'd probably go with AGV again.

I actually switched from Bell to G-Force - lighter, far more affordable, and the technology is fantastic. For the same weight/features helmet, Bell's would be probably $550, whereas the G-Force is $240. SA2005 rating, 3.2lbs (versus 4 lbs of the more affordable Bell helmets), and a great fit.

i second todd; Discovery Parts is fantastic. they are a serious sponsor of our local PCA region (Peachstate). they know their stuff, their prices are right, and they love the P-Cars.

I highly recomend saferacer.com - I've had nothing but fantastic service there and I now use them for most of my karting safety gear needs.
