Hey guys, thought I'd get some opinions on what helmets people are using. I'm used to the cheap full faced Simpson helmets with no visor. I plan on using a visor now for safety reasons.
So, my bean is pretty picky when it comes to helmets. So trying them on is a must. Simpson racing is just up the road from me, so I'm probably going to see what they have to offer. I really don't want to spend a lot of money right now, but I don't want to hate my helmet either. I'm thinking about forced air. Anyone use one? Anyway, let me know what you guys have and how you like them. |

I ended up getting this bad boy.
(IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/Steve91T/Camaro/22950ADF-6E13-4B7A-BE78-DAD4751591BC.jpg) I couldn't pass up the deal that comes with the shell 2010's. 50% off and comes with a second visor for free. This is forced air and the cool thing about it is the air exits on top of your head, over your eyebrows blowing on the visor and also wraps around and blows on your face. It's really nice. I tried it out on Friday at the track and I love it. I rigged a small 3 inch fan so even while sitting still, I keep my visor closed and enjoy the fresh air. The only downside, and this is a big one, is because of the air intake at the top of the helmet, I only fit in my car. So if I want to ride in someone elses car, chances are it won't work.
