I know this has been discussed before, but I have heard contradicting information since then. Please help.
What helmets are legal. What ratings. I remember hearing on this forum that either M or A were fine. M2500 was one of the ratings listed. But I read on the DC SCCA site that most places dont allow Motorcycle helmets. So whats the deal, I'm about to buy a helmet, but I dont want to waste my money.
Also, any recommendations for where to look for A rated helmets. I read that they were stronger, and if they aren't much more expensive, I might as well get one of those. I also would like this to double as a motorcycle helmet in a few years. Thanks in advance.

I bought mine at a local motorcycle shop. I doubt I paid much more than I would have online. Just make sure you ask for the M2005 because a lot of motorcycle helmets aren't rated. You can check for a label that's located on either the side or back of the helmet underneath the padding.
