Exclamation SIMPSON Street Bandit

So I want a full face helmet, and I really dig the look of this helmet. Before I order one can anyone here chime in if they know about this helmet or have worn one. I am ordering the helmet simply on the looks, and yes it is DOT and Snell approved.

The most important things is the way it fits. Not all helmets fit the same. The best helmet in the world is worthless if it flies off your head on impact. You should have someone fit test you before you buy, most places will not let you return a helmet for anything other than defects.

simpson helmets in my opinion seem to run small and fit a thin face alot better than a round or full face .... if you have any NHRA races in your area that you go to be sure to check the simpson trailer for sales the sell scratched helmets at some fantastic dicounts

In my past experiences with simpson they were VERY helpful in getting helmets to fit properly , Ive wrecked a few racecars and trust thier stuff as well or better than others out there.

Simpson products are top quality. I wear a half-helmet on the Harley, but I have five FF helmets that I wear on my ZX10R. To me, the Simpson is more of a race helmet so I use it to track my Corvette. My favorite FF is the KBC Stealth (far right).

Hey brotha, thanks for the link! That might be just for me.

Also, thanks to everyone else who chimed in. The only thing leaning me away from the SIMPSON, is that you need to unscrew the visor when you want to change it. I usually pack the clear in my bag and swap when it gets dark.
