I have never seen an actual SA2005 helmet in a store. I don't want to buy a $250 helmet online and wait for UPS only to have it be too small and have to send it back.

3) I never thought of that having a roll cage in a street car w/o a helmet could be dangerous. good call Shawn


Find a motorcycle dealer, or a shop that sales bike gear. Then you can try on an M2005 helmet and order yourself an SA2005 helmet of the same brand.

Guys, OGRacing has a pretty darn decent chart telling you how to measure yourself for helmet fitment FWIW.

Only $152 brand new too!

A friend of mind just bought one and it seems pretty nice.. I was pleasantly surprised.

Fitting your head is not the same as fitting your face. Helmets are one of those things where you want to see how it fits. I'm not sure if I would buy one before knowing how that brand/model fit me.

^ several places do allow you send back for exchange if fitment isn't right but I agree it is best to go try on and see 1st (just that isn't always a viable option for everyone)

heck, when I bought my 1st w2w helmet, I ended up trying on every brand available in 6 different cities (at the time I happened to be traveling for work a lot).. and it turned out I have such a unique head that I had to get custom measured and have a Stand21 custom helmet that I got measured for free in France while there for the 24 hours of Le Mans... so I go lucky I didn't have to pay the normal fee for custom measurement!

Not sure how many tracks will let you run an '05 helmet much longer, but G-Force Pro is still showing availability on some SA2005 closeouts, crack price cheap.

It's a better helmet if you spend more. I learned this over in the BMW world.
