Stilo ST5 recommended by a few people on this site. Fits perfectly on my head. Purchased from Simpsons World.
I would recommend you try out the helmets in store. I spent two hours trying out a few helmets and making sure they fit comfortably on my head for at least 15 minutes. |

That wasn't the only time something's come through the window, either, as a small object struck my left shoulder on the front straight at VIR. Never found out what it was, but it stung!

I just use a cheap SA2015 certified Conquer helmet that I got on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Conquer-SA201...conquer+helmet
As far as visors. At Laguna, the workers in the pit ask you to put the visor down as you head out. There is a ton of crap in the air at the track events: bugs, chunks of tires, and small stones. It is best to keep your eyes protected. |

Just an FYI. If you helmet size is on the larger side, Simpson makes some that will fit. I have the Super Bandit SA2015, for me there were few options.
Seconding the full face note, get that. It is required, or highly advised, on some tracks.

Brand/ model: G-Force REVO Carbon Pros: Comfortable for my giant melon head. Not too expensive for a Carbon Fiber helmet. Cons: Fogs easily for me. It's carbon fiber, which is a little overkill for me, but it was the most comfortable helmet I tried on that day. Cost:$475 Where you bought it (website): windingroad

another +1 for the HJC.
I assumed my helemt was just fine for an upcoming event, only to find out it wasn't! Had to find a helmet at the last minute, and found myself running around in the rain (who knew water falls from the sky in CA) trying to find somewhere to try on helmets. Wound up at WRR in fountain valley and was helped by Peter, pretty cool dude. Tried on the different brands that were there and wound up with the HJC, it just felt right when I put it on, and it felt even better when I found out the price I think the g force helmet was also priced well, but my head was much happier with the shape of the HJC. After 1 weekend of driving, I have no complaints and looking forward to more seat time. Quote:

i guess another key thing is the SA helmets have the hans posts pre drilled, but for stock 3 point street car belts and no roll cage street cars these wouldn't be key factors. |

Recommending people use motorcycle helmets for track days is plain irresponsible. Maybe you should recommend using expired helmets too? You know what they say, its always best to cheap out on safety gear! You have your $80k M3 but you want to save $100 buying a cheaper helmet.... |
