Some costly helmets are in fact a little better than the G-force one but in many cases you are paying for the brand name. They all go through the same certifications. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SF Coupe</b> <br /><small>Member # 1810</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,0,21,14,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Go to wine country motorsports at Infineon and try a few helmets on. They have a good selection and can help you find the right size for your head. If you're going road racing definitely get an SA rated helmet. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
