Anybody have a Sparco helmet?

How's the quality? I have always run bell's (M3) but mine got dropped this weekend off a hoist. I'm going to replace it and someone suggested the sparco WTT-TK

If it stands up to the latest Snell rating, then its as good as any other Snell helmet at protecting your noggin. I like the KBC helmets because they are comfortable and cheap.

Obviously any helmet I buy will be rated appropriately. But, helmets have other features to compare. Visibility, cooiling, weight, etc. For instance, my bell M3 was a bitch to have a radio in. It would always pinch my ear. Some helmets I notice have small groves cut out for the wires, and ear bud to fit comfortably.

I have the wtt-kf (it was on sale). It is very nice and sparco sells a special kit that puts a jack in one of those side vents to plug a mic/speaker directly into your helmet. Might also be on the sparco page. The helmet is very comfortable and breathes well. I wanted teh tk but they were out of it in my size (widexhuge)
