You will definately want to try on a Helmet before buying. Different shaped heads fit in helmets differently. I use Bell (one of my Sponsors, I can get a Bieffe on my head)
Don't buy a Motorcycle Helmet - you will be amazed how fast the liners will incinerate!
Don't ever buy a used Helmet - you don't know if it was ever dropped and rendered useless
2015's will be available Oct 1st and not a day sooner. My Helmet (a New Bell model, a GP3 Carbon) is free to me and they can not ship it til Oct 1st
All Helmet Distributers (Stable, Wine Country, etc) have Snell 2010 on Sale right now, because they don't want to have Old Inventory
After you get a Helmet, take care of it. Don't ever drop it - that makes it useless. Dry it out properly. If want to get it painted by a Pro, you can get a hold of me - I know all the Painters! A good Looking Helmet is worth 2 seconds a lap! lol
Here is part of my Collection
