Only full face for me. I have 3 Arai; Quantum/f Okada-2, Profile Wraithen and Corsair-V Jolly Roger. The Arai helmets are fairly expensive, but I find them to be very comfortable.


I wear the Corsair-V Jolly Roger most of the time, it's my favorite.

 

I've seen helmets like this before. The extra visor meens extra weight

 

Could you check your helmet to see what the snell rating year is on this helmet, I'm looking to get a new one for next racing season, and hoping this is a 2005 or 2010 year-rating.

PS, for those who race the 2000 year-rating expires on 12/31/2011 for AHDRA, NHRA & IHRA Technical Inspection.

 

All I have atm...

 

I went through a bunch looking for something I liked. Right now I mainly wear a Bell custom 500 3/4 . When the temp dips, I've got a Bell Vortex FF.

For eyewear, I'm in love with my Oakley wind jackets. No tears, no fog, and quickly swaps from shades to clear.

 

I will add my two cents. WE have no helmet laws either but I dont get on without one period. I use a Shoei full face. The drawbacks are that it is hot in the summer and your visability is not the best. If you have a wreck this is what you want on your head. In the cooler months its great but like I said visability is not the best. I constantly look over my shoulder to check my blind spot because I ride a rigid mount and the vibration of the mirrors renders them useless.

 

Shoei Multitec modular w/ pinlock visor. Works great in the rain - no fogging at all.

 

I had the same thing happen at about 60 mph. Got hit by a june bug over my eye and it almost knocked me out cold. I had a big dollar helmet at home I was not wearing at the time.. It felt like Mike Tyson punched me and I almost wrecked. That was the last time I got on without a helmet. I thought to myself just how stupid are you and why did you pay all that money for a helmet you are not wearing? It was a wake up call for me.

 

I used to ear a full face and then moved to a half helmet and love it. The full face created echo that was really annoying and restricted my vision a lot. Now that's cold, I wear a face mask with the half helmet and I'm warmer than when I was wearing a full face with neck warmer.

 

I wear a HeadTrip natural chrome half helmet when really hot, otherwise, the sweet new matte black 2011 Bell Star (fantastic helmet).
