Finally time to face reality and quit using a full face motorcycle helmet from the '70's.

So what does everyone recommend for autocrosses and PCA DE events? Full face helmet? Buy it at the local motorcycle store?

Questions:
1) How do I figure out the right size
2) what is the right style
3) What brand to get
4) Where to get it
5) What should I end up paying

Thanks!

Questions:
1) How do I figure out the right size
best way is to go fit one
if buying online, most sellers have sizing instructions


2) what is the right style
SA 2005 (=car specific) and get a full face

5) What should I end up paying
the popular saying is: "if you have a $10 head, buy a $10 dollar helmet" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you ever *need* a helmet YOU NEED a helmet! Even autocrossing could put you in a place where protecting your pea (and FACE) is critical!
