FrinkBRZ Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Does anyone have a Snell 2015 helmet of any kind that I can buy or borrow? It has proven damn near impossible to find a Snell 2015 helmet online without spending $300 or more and most searche systems on sites like Amazon do not seem to sort or recognize Snell. I only get DOT certified helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hi There: Try the guys at UPR Racing Supply. Their warehouse is in Tucson but they have a great team of folks at Desert Rat just off the US60 here in town. Check the link. This is an open face helmet but they have all sorts available .... yes some are in excess of $300, in fact way in excess! But there are some reasonable options like this one ... I've used this supplier for race suits, helmets, and various lubricants .... https://upr.com/series-194272-racequip-open-face-sa2015.html#! Good Luck DaveMaxfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrinkBRZ Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Thank you very much Dave. More than I want to spend but I haven't bought a helmet in almost 20 years so I probably haven't realized the change in price over the years. It should last me a number of years as well. Much appreciate the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbid Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 You might also want to check out https://pitstopusa.com I got my Bell SA2015 helmet pretty quick and it was on sale for $299 (normally $399)... and it's still on sale. I too searched for a while, but the timing isn't great. If you could wait another month or 2, I think there might be some pretty good sales... as I think the SA2020 helmets are supposed to be released in October.

JamesCutty Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Check with Ravi at We Don't Lift Racing, in Tempe. They have helmets in stock. Great people and really helpful. https://www.wdlracing.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Vessell Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Saferacer and Winding Road are both taking pre-orders for SA2020 helmets, that they will ship beginning October 1st. Winding Road has a SCCA discount program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda33 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Do you need a SA rated helmet? If it’s just for autox then most bike shops should have plenty of helmets in stock. I use a HJC cl-17 and they are available all over the place for under $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 It doesn't need to be an SA rating, it could be an M rating. There are other ratings that are acceptable besides Snell, but the Snell are the cheapest usually. An SA or M 2005 or newer is currently acceptable, at the end of the year you'll need a 2010 or newer rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer726 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I have a couple of spare Snell SA2015 helmets that are like new, look and feel and smell new. They are the open face Conquer brand helmets, flat black, kevlar strap, hans attach points, sort of like what you would find as loaner helmets but not worn. Small and Medium only. I've probably worn the medium a few times many months ago, small has never been worn. $80 each, I can bring it at noon if needed.

FrinkBRZ Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Thanks everyone! I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier. Racer726, those sizes would be too small for my melon head. I went ahead recently and just ordered an SA2105 for a good price in size XL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
