Zeronine Z9-AKR BlackOps Carbon Fiber Helmet

Anyone know anything about these guys? I don't own an auto racing helmet and would like to buy one for my racing school in April. I don't have unlimited funds, but this seems awfully cheap for the features this company claims. Just wondered if anyone has worn one. Saferacer has them for 350.00 or something like that.

Hey, they're Snell '05 rated so they can't be too bad. But SN05 isn't considered the best test these days, so take it with a pinch of salt.

I think the helmets look cool, and for $350 or so it's better than wearing nothing. But if you can afford a more expensive helmet I would go with and Arai etc.

Totally agree with Sy. Your helmet is the last place you want to cut corners.

The other thing is that even IF the helmet is as comparably safe as an Arai, it doesn't mean that it's comfortable or made with high quality and/or long lasting materials, especially the interior. That's where I usually find the biggest differences between good and great brands.

Re: Zeronine Z9-AKR BlackOps Carbon Fiber Helmet

Yeah thanks for the input. I was a long time sportbike rider and I love arai and agv. I was just curious if anyone had any experience with this particular helmet. Especially comfort and quality. It just seemed fishy to have all the stated features of a 1000 dollar helmet for 350 bucks AND be '05 rated. Thanks...
