Being 1/2 blind and having to wear glasses and goggles while riding I find the combo to be a bit of a PITA. :banghead:
I also do a fair bit of D/S riding so this helmet would work well for that too!!! :banana:
The local bike shop says they can't get Simpson products in(no Canadian supplier) but the Calgary Sun had a little article in Friday's paper on the Simpson,so someone in Calgary must sell em!!! :confused:
Any info please!!!

Try some of the Car speed shops. Unlimited performance or Mopac. They may not have the ones you want but may be able to direct you to a supplier. WR Dave.

Not bad looking helmets and priced good. I once had a Simpson back in the '80's but it did not fit me very well, too small of an eye window, my goggles wouldn't fit in proprley. Too bad no dealer carries these so you can try one on. Arai makes a helmet like that, but it is not cheap.

The Arai's are pretty nice and I had seen them before but waaayyyy too much $$$$$$! :crazy: :crazy:

Ordered a Simpson this morning,should be here in about a week!!
:D :D
If it's as nice as I've heard them it's just about a steal for $350
