Man I swear that thing was in the mid 300 range when I was there last week. Maybe I'm mistaken
I've never seen the Hellfire Mod Bandit that low. Maybe an Outlaw, but that would be one hell of a difference.

I pulled the trigger and bought it. I'm a sucker, I know. lol Thanks for making me spend money @craigffb

Yup that's why I feel like I must be incorrectly remembering but I feel like when she said price I thought damn I really need to just buy this and figure it out later. But 350 does seem really low.
 
the hell fire is $327 on Ebay
I swear that's what it was the other day in store and also online. I should've bought the damn thing. same as @twowheeladdict my size is 436 on eBay from Holley who owns Simpson so I'm sure that's legit offering. still better than the 500+ direct form Simpson website.

I might email the lady who sold my wife her helmet. if anything it'll just confirm I'm not completely crazy.

They change the prices up and down pretty rapidly. The Ghost price went back up yesterday in the middle of the day. Like gas prices. 😂. I’m pretty sure you’re right on the price, because I thought there was a good deal on it not that long ago, but I already have two.

Yeah I noticed that ghost jumped

I would say lesson learned on my part but I don't wanna lie 🤣

Even though I didn't get it at the rock bottom price, it was still $100 less than MSRP so I'll take it. I'm weary of anything on Ebay and 2nd hand resellers unless they are a large name (Revzilla, JP Cycles, etc.). I haven't had good luck with them in the past but fortunately had protections in place to keep me from losing my money.

Simpson as a company has impressed me. They repaired my current Mod Bandit for free and this is the 3rd helmet of theirs that I have bought. Will probably buy more in the future.

OK, you guy have gotten me to again buy something I don't need. Read this and looked at the Ghost Bandit. It was like $150. Went back to look again and looked again and it was $237. So I had the great idea to look on ebay and found it for 150. Again I fought off the urge but later got a message that said seller lowered it to $114. I became weak again and bought it.

Yeah they jumped the price back up after like two days. Keep me safe. 😂
 
Well my mod bandit and ghost bandit arrived yesterday. I'm on the fence. The mod bandit fits a little tight, much more so than the one I tried in person at their store. Ghost bandit seems to fold upper part of my ear or some sort of weird pressure on my ear. Like it's caught in something

I'll wear both around the house over the weekend and see if they fit any better, if not, back they go

I do like the gloves so far. Wore them to work today and really like how low profile they are compared to any glove I've worn previously

I originally ordered an XL when I bought my first one as I was told to order a size down. It was tight and within 20 minutes of wearing it in the house, I knew it wouldn't work. This was based off their sizing chart. I returned it for the XXL and it worked much better. My new Hellfire Mod Bandit, I took the pads out of my old one and moved them over. I'm saving the new pads for next riding season. They do take a few hours of breaking in.

Helmets certainly are a user preference thing. I am really happy with mine and don't see me swapping brands in the future unless I have to. I hope that they do end up working for you though.
