Default Where to buy helmets?

I need to get a helmet. The nearest place that sells them that I know of is an hour and a half away. Because of my work hours, I cant get there.

Are there any places that have free returns?
I thought there was some when I bought my motorcycle helmets. (theres tons of those places around here, just not SA helmets...)

I've had a lot of good service from saferacer.com and as long as you return it within 30 days, there are no charges.

My dad and I bought ours from helmetcity.com. I had no problems returning mine and exchanging it for a different size.

www.discoveryparts.com is top notch in customer service and technical advice on all safety stuff. Prices are great as well.

Might want to try a forum vendor. They pay for this forum, and saferacer is not one.

I was going to suggest finnspeed as well. They sent me two different helmets, and different inserts for both of them so that I could make sure I was comfortable. Great customer service!

I would imagine that its just that the website hasnt been updated for the 2010 helmets. I remember a while back they were selling the rest of their 2005 helmets. Also, they have 5 different helmets in their helmet section.

I just received my helmet from Apex Performance and the customer service was excellent. Could not be happier with the whole experience. Great prices also.
