I'd love to know what other folks are using and where purchases were made.

Read the rules for where you want to run. PCA, SCCA, Others? While some clubs have loaners, do you really want to put your head in a loaner helmet. Most PCA regions now require Snell 2000 SA (not M or DOT ratings). On the other hand, it should be "legal" for 5-10 years. How much is your head worth to you?
