Mike, I'll try to remember to bring my G-Force helmet to the convention. I
think you will be impressed. I certainly was. You can get a forced air
helmet in fiberglass/kevlar (noticeably lighter than my Bell Sport II) for
$300. In addition, it's set up for G-Force's proprietary head and neck
support ($225). I'm going to get one for the interim before I can swing a
HANS.
I think you'll like this helmet. It's higher quality than Bell or Simpson
for less money IMHO.
