Re: Snell Rated Helmets

["Joseph F. Governali" <jfgovern@mailbox.syr.edu>]

	I have purchased all of my motorcycle helmets through the mail,
from Competition Accessories and Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse.  The best
helmets in the Motorcycle world, according to most folks, are Shoei and
Arei (spelling is wrong on this second name, I think!)... The helmets are
from these two companies are designed to fit different types of heads; it
really is best to try one for fit before buying...  I have used Kiwi,
Bell, and Shoei, and found the Shoei helmet to be outstanding in fit,
function, and overall performance.  You will have to spend Xtra $$ for a
Shoei or Arei, but then again, you only get one head (no Monica jokes
here, please!)..  Just remember to buy the size which fits properly; the
foam padding will compress over time, and a helmet which is loose at the
start of its life will be WAY too big after a year of use (not to mention
the loss of protection)...

Good luck...  

the number of both mail-order shops can be found by calling
