I've been reading all the info I can about how to select a motorcycle helmet. Apparently, not all helmets are equal, and my head is worth far more (to me) than whatever I invest in a helmet. Within reason, cost is not an issue on this safety piece.
While looking around, I realized that many were Snell rated. So, does this mean that my motorcycle helmet can pull double duty as an autocross helmet? -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

One other accessory you may want to purchase if you buy a full face helmet is a padded neck ring. If you ever have a frontal impact while wearing a full face helmet you run the risk of breaking your sternum when your head snaps forward and down from the deceleration force and the chin of the helmet impacts your chest. the neck ring will prevent this.
