Got this junk email this morning from Zamp Racing, having a sale on helmets. Was wondering if anyone here has any info on these guys or their helmets? My old Simpson Voyager is waaaaay out of date (Snell 95
) and is now a show piece and am needing a new one for when i start autox'ing my jetta.. Thanks guys!!

I've got one... Nothing wrong with it. Not the most comfortable thing in the world, but I'm only wearing it two minutes at a time. I think the comfort thing has more to do with it being whatever Snell rating it is than it being a Zamp.
I really don't know anything about it other than it was the cheapest one out there at the time.
There's probably not another brand of helmets that come later in alphabetical order.
Other than that, I can't help you.
I got one from a drunk guy at a bar once. He had ridden a motorcycle there, and got totally wasted. I got to talking about bikes with him and ended up giving him a ride home. He gave me his helmet as payment. That was a weird night.

I have one, it fits nicer than my RCI. Every time I don't crash it seems like it would have protected me.
I have one and I cant complain
This is a great policy for a helmet company
