twnpipe Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 With a little experience in motorcycle helmets, I know that a Shoei L fits me well but looks like I have to buy my car helmet mailorder. Thinking of one of the basic Bell's. Do I have to buy two sizes and ship one back? I have 2 weeks to get one. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceBowker Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Just curious - why can't you use a bike helmet in a car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 If I recall correctly the difference between SA and M helmets is their fire safety. I think SA helmets have Nomex liners and M don't. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboeric Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 SA helmets are also rated for multiple impacts (think roll cage in a rollover). There's more to the fire safety than the liner - the eyeports tend to be smaller on a full face SA helmet as well. I don't have the answer for the OP - sizing is hard to do by mail order, and it seems each helmet model fits a little differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twnpipe Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Ending up buying a G Force helmet, it fits the same and same size as my motorcycle helmet. Not nearly the chin protection though! Oh yeah I'm not falling off a bike. With age comes cages is true in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
