Just got one today from Burnaby Kawasaki, only $120 (on special) so happy.

Not open face though...

I bought mine over the weekend from Burnaby Kawasaki also. Open Face Snell M, $59 + 1 tax. Hopefully I can use it at some of the Mission events...

Then I can save up for a Snell SA2010 Arai GP5WP or something ... if I win tonight's lottery that is...

2000 snell M or 2005 snell M?

in my opnion full face can protect you better, if you really crash, you guess how much the open face can do for your face? at the most it does the head protection...i wouldn't mind paying the extra AC ...

Thinking of just getting by with the cheapest helmet I can until SA2010 comes out late 2010 or early 2011. Then I'll look at a good SA full face helmet at that point.

The one I got for $59 is the HJC CS-5. Regular $89, but when I buy it and ask for a new helmet, they found one and on the box it says $59~ See if they still have your size.

Oh.. so CS-5 is fine, but CS-5N is not.

M2000?  So you can only use it for... 1 year?  I thought you'd want something M2005..

min requirement is M2000, but of course would want to go buy a M2005 helmet la.

The CS-5 I got is M2005. At least the Snell shiny sticker inside says it's M2005

BiscottiGelato

Wow, that that's really a good deal!  I thought it is only a M2000 and therefore the price.

Jealous..

Your's looks A LOT better tho. Look like a dumbass after wearing the CS-5... or maybe it's just me @@.

BiscottiGelato

and I tried the full face which ACC-HE bought... and it doesn't work well with my g ...

You need to compare Apples to Apples tho, the PDM one is SA rated, not M. so 189 isn't too bad. Just that it's expensive if you never planned to buy a SA rated helmet to begin with.

I don't remember if I saw any relatively cheap open face Snell M in Richmond Motorsport.... I know there was Arai and Shoei open face Snell M in Richmond Motorsport and Richmond Yamaha/BMW tho LOL.

I usually wear contact lens for AutoX or any sport related stuff. So I never really fuss about helmet and glasses issues. Contact lens is a life saver for sports, etc. Should look into it.
