I use an HJC helmet. It only cost about $100 and it's Snell approved.

you should make sure if it needs to be snell SA approved or if M will work. M is for motorcylces & SA is for cars. M is generally less expensive than SA. it should be snell 00 or 05 as 95 is outdated.

The helmet has to be DOT approved. I use an HJC helmet.
