Almost time for a new helmet. Anyone know much about this helmet? They are $900 off right now. I would hope with a $1900 list price they are not made on China like the Carbon Devil Ray and Bandit. I really like my carbon Devil Ray but also was really disappointed when I got it and found the made in China label inside it https://www.simpsonraceproduct...s/carbon-venator-pro | ||

Thats why I was asking about it. Why is it so special? The last time I checked my head was worth investing $1000 in | |||

I have the Devil Ray also and felt the same way when I saw made in China. The Venator is nice but damn that's expensive when full price and I only see small and med/lg on Simpson site for the sale. | |||

I love my Impact Champ, best fitting and most comfortable helmet I've ever worn. Made in USA as well... Mark Goulette Owner/Driver of the Livin' The Dream Racing dragster www.livinthedreamracing.com "Speed kills but it's better than going slow!" Authorized Amsoil Retailer | |||

Just curious, if Simpson is the "Gold Standard" for safety, why do they manufacture products in China? For all I know, the products might be better produced overseas because of materials used. Just asking PS: Check for SFI dates on any helmet you buy. I think the latest is 2020This message has been edited. Last edited by: M120,  | |||

I have both. I like the looks of the Venator better but prefer the Devil Ray for comfort and visibility. JMO | |||

Do you have any idea why the Venator cost is so high? I assume it is made in the states but it does not specify that on there website like it does with the Diamondback. When I tried on both the Devil Ray and Bandit visibility is why I choose the Devil ray. Carbon Diamondback looks really nice too but has pretty much the same opening as the Bandit | |||

Steve, the Diamondback’s eye port is small if you wear glasses. | |||

We have a National in Houston in May. I think the best thing to do is wait until then so I can physically look at and try on helmets. JR Baxter said they had 50% off deals on SA2015 helmets at the Gators this past weekend, hopefully they will have the same at Houston | |||

Mine was not that much. I bought it 2 years ago. I would have to assume the additional cost for the Pro version is for the FIA 8860 rating which mine does not have. | |||
