Re: Which Helmet Would You Choose?
If I had to choose I'd go for the m35... it's got a lot of character to it, a named liner and a good decal. I personally think that it missing the original chinstrap is a bummer though, not a big thing to others perhaps but I just like the aesthetic of an original chinstrap with commensurate wear nicely displayed over the brim.

Re: Which Helmet Would You Choose?
Chin strap is unfortunate but not always a deal breaker. There are well worn straps out there to add, but they don't come cheap.

Re: Which Helmet Would You Choose?
I like the M35, but when it comes down to it, it's your personal choice.

Re: Which Helmet Would You Choose?
Get the M42, its a classic, and the decal is a super bonus.

Re: Which Helmet Would You Choose?
Thanks guys for so many replies and different points of view. You helped me a lot... to be more confuse...LOL. I have 100% certain... that I still have doubt between the M35 and the M42, but how I said I only have money for one of them.

Re: Which Helmet Would You Choose?
Which one of them can you not stop looking at? That's the one you buy!
or, when in doubt, buy all of them. It's only money

Re: Which Helmet Would You Choose?
Hi cart,
I'd buy the named M35 because it's mine and I've consigned it to Dave. (he sells most of my helmet's for me as I don't have time to sell) So I am biased LOL. It came to me as is without the chinstrap and it has a boatload of charachter. I've owned it for about 6 years or so and it's a very nice classic reissue with DD. I think he has it priced right, at $895 (was $995) but I'll knock another $50 off for you for being a WRF member. The others are nice too but I'm partial to M35's - so I like mine - But then again I am biased... ;-). LOL. Happy hunting!
Cheers
Doug

Re: Which Helmet Would You Choose?
i would have picket the m40 just dont like the runs in the m35 paint but the more i think about it m35 had a longer life witch to me makes it have more charachter as you said. i have looked at that site before and if i had have known this a little while ago i would have taken you up on your offer.

Re: Which Helmet Would You Choose?
62's almost look like toys to me, that are that small so if I had to buy one I think it'd be the M40.
Although owning a genuine DougB-owned lid adds value to the M35!
