I don't have time to do a lot of research right now. Gary needs a new helmet for our trip. Is this a good deal? $108.00
Thanks for your opinion!

Wow....that looks like an excellent price! The closest I could find to that price was $135....mind if I ask where you found it for $108?

New Enough. Same place I buy our jackets. They send me weekly emails on their sales. Just bought a great jacket for my son. If you order anything....the company will donate to our site here, but you have to specify it. I really like them as it's fast shipping.

Cool! Thanks for the info.

I have priced things several times through them, but always found it for less elsewhere. I'd say their price on these helmets is pretty much untouchable.

Looks good to me. Sizing is the biggest trick when ordering online.

I bought 2 of these but they were the "SP" Model last Fall for $135.00 each. The website should have a Size Chart and me and girlfriend measured our heads and hers was SPOT-ON and mine was a TAD Tight along my forehead area. I read on the internet to take a Large Spoon and use backside to rub down the tight spot using thumb pressure (Worked Great now Fits Great). Good Vents and Visor never fogged an I rode some 35 degree trips. These are DOT Approved. I upgraded to the "SP" Model to get the SNELL rating (IMO worth a few more bucks).

BUY THEM NOW!!!:superman: Or Upgrade to the SP.

I don't know why they wouldn't give it to you for the same price. They seem like a real good company to work with.

Yes... But they can sell out quick when the proce is right.

Great vendor and very customer service oriented.

I don't know about the price, seems like a waste of money to me. I always thought the $150 tennis shoes and the $20 helmet made more sense. Going to their web site now.

Just ordered the helmet!
http://www.newenough.com/image/path/16818/small/blue.jpg?1216300687 (http://www.newenough.com/browse/view_product_images/2539) I also just got this jacket today in the mail from them. Xmas present for our son. Normally $169.00 and I paid $49.99 plus shipping/handeling. He's going to love it. I usually don't promote company's but this is my 4th order from them and I can't say enough about them.
