Are we looking for a particular BRAND or STYLE here?

We need to determine those two things when making a group purchase.

OPEN FACE is what everyone had during auto-X.

Close face is the mouth area closed off, more common in pro-racing.

BRAND? Shoei, Hawk, Bell, Simpson, Zamp, G-force????

Or you can all make a choice by price-point so long as they meet the requirements of DOT and POC. Remember also, color will effect the price slightly so black can cost more than white.

i like the closed face myself color doesnt matter bc mine might end up in eli's paint booth!

I think I'll go with the Black vs. the White on the options myself.... But as you said, mine might just end up in the same booth besides yours too....

Yes, Group buys are usually something where the retailer gets a-hold of the manufacture or distributor for an additional savings in order to make it happen.

It might be do-able if everyone can finalize a BRAND and everyone has their sizes picked out.

Hey Aren,

Can you please let us know if there will be TAX, SHIPPING or any additional charges with the purchase?

Sometimes making a purchase out of state is better for the Tax rate if they can bulk ship.

Example: 5 x $223 = 1115.00 (5 helmets) + maybe $40 (shipping) = $1155.

In-state: 5 x $223 = 1115.00 (5 helmets) + $91.98 (tax) = $1206.98 plus shipping if it's not in So. Cal.

Good Price if it's all inclusive.
