najw Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi Will I've just bought one of these HedTec Arrived today, seems well made and is Snell2010 so latest approval, should be good for the 5 years recommended for replacing anyway. I don't think you'll get anything much cheaper, I couldn't find anything anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zim Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 We got a pair of peltor's with intercom. Very comfortable, but make sure you get the right size ! Remember - if you'r using it offroad, it's going to get scratched and a bit battered. So don't go too silly on money for this reason.

James The MSA currently do no helmets for Challenge permitted events, only Speed and "i think team recovery" permitted events. Always Check the event Sr's.If lightwaight is a requirement how about a rockclimbing helmet or similar ??. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbowler Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I bought a HEADTEC from Whitbread Off Road for my 15 year old son who winch man ed me at the Mike Wolf last year - very light, took a comms unit no problem I have competed in many stage rally events, Comp Safaris and other timed events where helmet is mandatory - it is in the rules so you get one - I have a SPARCO Red label helmet that has lasted me 10 years and is still in date - just recently I started doing challenge events as a winch man and also as a driver - helmet keeps you warm and cool, holds the comms unit and is very good for charging thru bracken and tree branches without getting your head and face cut to ribbons - it also saves your head from the inevitable head - Cage strike!!! I would get a HEADTEC for price and comfort and I would wear a helmut even though MSA currently do not specify a helmet - soon they will!!!
