Need a cheapish SA05 helmet...suggestions?
Well it seems the racing organizations I play with aren't going to allow me to use my sa95 helmet anymore so I need to upgrade.
I'm looking for a SA05 helmet, preferably full faced and priced around $200.
Anyone have any ideas, and know the best place to buy from?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Zamp. Best bang-for-buck on the market right now.

My wife has one of these, I have:http://www.apexperformance.net/cartg...id=1595&cid=18 because the Zamp was NA when I ordered.
The best part - no shipping, no tax, and a free pair of these bad boys:

(used to be they offered them free, last time I had to ask for them, so they may be phasing out the free glove program).

This is what I got as a gift for the wife a while ago:
http://www.racerwholesale.com/produc...roducts_id=559
or you can get this one - a little bit cheaper:
http://www.racerwholesale.com/produc...roducts_id=561
both are SA2005.
IIRC, the site has free shipping on both helmets

I have used G-force and Pyrotect and have been happy with both, but Zamp (never heard of) has a full face for $179.

Not being a dick, but you should click on the links before saying anything. They have SA2005 rated in the $129 range and $199 range.

I think I'm leaning towards the Pyrotect, I wore one of their full face helmets for a day and I liked it very much.
I was told last year at a NASA event that I would need a SA05 helmet this year however, looking at the rule book I don't think SA is required for HPDE and TT which is what I'll be doing. A local club to me (MCCI) is requiring SA05 this year.
Thanks again for all the info guys.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Zamp, G-Force, Pryo,ect are all made by the same Asian company. Doesn't matter to me as long it passed the industry standards. I have a Zamp full-face,btw and comparing it side by side to the more "name brand" ones offered no distinctions. I will say, however, that they run on the small side, so find a local speed shop and try one on beforing ordering blind.
Efini, sorry for the confusion.

That response was for Magna, not you. I did check out the link you posted, and yes Zamp does have a full face sa2005 for right at $200, thank you for the info, exactly what I was looking for.

www.saferacer.com has some good deals (G-force). usually free shipping and 10% off if you search the specmiata forums. I've had great service from them.

I'm not 100% sure if all of the clubs I am going to run with are going to require SA helmets or not but I do know if I get a SA05 helmet I'll be able to use it just about anywhere for the next ~8 years. I figure if I'm going to buy a helmet I might as well get one I know I'll be able to use.
