I bought 2 $600+ dollar helmets a few months ago for under 200 each on closeout. You might want to get online for this. Real money can be saved.

Full - closed - visors rock! Wear sun glasses - so much less sand - I wore a "super motard" helmet on my sand bikes cause I wear glasses - it just kicks ass at keeping the sand out.   

Arai is a good brand - I have a super motard for the bike.  HJC for the sand car.  Cant go wrong with a bell.  At $300.00 lots and lots of options to choose from.


Simpson makes a sand sport helmet that is about $100.00 that would use gogles - great ventalation, etc.

I went with open face. Closed is just too hot. Spent way too many hours sweltering in the staging lanes waiting all suited up for 30 minutes or more to do full face unless i have to ever again except when riding quad. I have 3 different helmets depending on what I'm doing.

I need my own. Father-in law has 12 helmets, but they are all out of date. what can you do with out dated helmets? I have a snell95 dirt bike helmet.

Point Blank...  Make sure it is SNELL approved!!  I can't stress that enough.  That has saved my life countless times and also the countless lives of people I know, raced with, or saw crash footage of.
