i can loan you a full face and open face to give you an opport. to see what you like before you buy
there is a huge CYCLE GEAR store on hwy183near Fuddruckers, south side
i would drop by there to test all options; fits/sizes may be brand specific

btw, i will be at MSR to share in the excitement, but not in the class itself.. hope anyone in NTEC will consider coming out for the day/weekend?
the wives/families can have a good time in Granbury (10miles down the road) eating/shopping/antique'n
Its almost cheaper than the round trip drive to stay overnight...

When I was at Cycle Gear last, they only carried DOT and M rated helmets, nothing SA rated (which is what's required at MSR).

I ended up getting an Impact Helmet (Another Company owned by Don Simpson but not affliated with Don Simpson, so I was told) at Smiley's, Good fit, SNELL 2005 & SFI/FIA Approved.
