Default Helmets ;)

What helmets does everybody use? Where did you get them from? I'll be wanting my own for when I start doing track days (hopefully this year).

Shop around and try the ebay shops for bargins on new ones. Make sure they conform to the correct regs as they need not be MSA approved as it is not racing but Snell 2010 is the safe one to go for. Gold stickers used to be okay but not now, budget for around £85 upwards. I need to buy a new one as mine is out of date but have hired them since for a tenner a day.

Only wear an £85 helmet if your head is worth £85

Absolutely way too much horsepower is almost enough.
