I am grossly aware of the pros ... I bought my first Bell Star at 16 ... I've owned NAVA, Sheoi, Bell, Simpson and numerous "off-brand", closed face helmets Back on topic ... What head/neck restraint systems are out there that work with an open face helmet? 1 or 2 piece driving suits? Single or multiple layer?

I realize what is the best ... full face and a Hans. And not wanting to get into the whole "how much is your head/life worth" conversation which never answers any real world questions ... I drove motorcycles for years and have heard it all ... I currently use an open face helmet. I like OF better because it's easier to use with my glasses and it just seems to be cooler and easier to breath. Whether that is reality or psychological is between me and my therapist. What head restraint systems are availble for an OF helmet? What is real protection and what is just hype? Suits ... 1 piece or 2? single layer or multiple? Do brands really matter?
