Trying to learn as much as I can ....
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? |

There was a thread on corner carvers maybe a year ago or so that had some good things to say about this one:
http://www.isaacdirect.com/html/product.html Based on the mounting locations I see no reason it couldn't work with an open faced helmet. If you're looking for something cheaper, G-Force racing has one that straps around you and then to your helmet. I've tossed all my catalogs of their stuff in my fall house cleaning just recently, but you might check into it. This one looks similar to what I remember of the G-Force unit: http://www.circletrack.com/techarticles/90499/ Some additional interesting reading: http://www.hutchensdevice.com/news/Head_Ne..._Restraint.html Found some good links just doing a search on "head and neck restraints" on yahoo. |
