I need to get a helmet for my first autocross on sept 20th. Is there one brand better than another. I wear glasses so I will need something that I can get my glasses on with.
Thanks - Garold (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I ride a Motorcycle to work daily, a lot on the weekends and a bit on the track. I've tried a lot of helmets on and i wear them for long periods of time. The Cost is mor than weight, though that is a big part of it, it is also comfort, how it will wear over time and features.
I can definately feel a huge difference the second I put on a 700 dollar Arai as opposed to a 150 dollar HJC. Interior materials are of higher quality and they have nice features like removable padding so you can clean your sweat off of it. Also different manufacturers fit different shaped heads better so try a bunch on. The helmet should be snug when you are buying it, it's going to loosen up over time as it breaks in to your head shape. I have had a helmet save my face, I recomend you buy the best that will fit into your budget. Snell SA if at all possable. -Aaron G. |
