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? |

Alan thank you for the pdf/link,that does help me decide what suit I want. I hope it will help others also in the future. I want to give myself a little more than 7 seconds protection... 3.2A/15 is more of a minimum rating IMO. I will see what NASA suggests for minimal rating also.
Geez that really shed some light on the situation...also IMO whats the purpose of even making a suit that gives less than 30 seconds (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif) ? Which really is not alot of time either. Man I wonder how many individuals are under the false impression they are being protected with some of these suits w/o knowing! Thanks again! |
