I was watching some of the mini races from the late eighties, back when I was a mini rider, and got to wondering: what happened to Simpson motocross helmets?
I remember when I was a kid they were fairly rare but all the kids I knew of that had them were fast. I remember the Arai and JT helmets were expensive (and open faced too). Even more expensive than the "$10 dollar head/ $10 helmet" Bell was.
Also, what about the quality? Were they any good?

Guess motorcycles wasn't worth it.
Their line of MX gear they offered a few years ago was fairly popular in Central Texas. But again, none of the people I knew who wore it had to pay for it. And the stuff fell apart VERY quickly.
Anyone remember the Simpson helmet that Turbo Reif wore in SX that utilized a face shield instead of goggles?
That reminds me...it's just about time to pull out my old Simpson jacket out for winter!!
