I had a helmet recommended to me from a certain jackstand expert. I have it written down at home and will let you know this weekend.

I have a Simpson carbon fiber helmet, I really like it - lightweight and stays cool with all the little vents.

I have always used Bell myself. Currently using a Bell M3 with a custom paint job by www.axcelfastgraphics.com :-D

I wear a Bell, and its fine. The main thing to consider is buying a helmet that is "SA." The "SA" stands for special applications. They are used in automobile racing and such. Inside the helmet will have a label that reads "SA 95" or "M 95" or something similiar. The M stands for motorcycle and some organizations will not allow M helmets to be used for there events. Every 5 years a the label is upgraded by the manufacturer. I have a used SA 90 that is now expired. Check with the group of people you are considering running with and find out what there helmet standards are..
