There has been some recent rumblings from the SCCA about airbags possibly causing a broken neck with a full face helmet. They might require either open face helmets or proof the airbag has been disabled at some point in the future for Solo II.
Personally, I think a closed face is safer in a wreck, but a lot of racers use open face in closed cars. This helmet will avoid any Solo II hassles in the future and is SA rated for those organizations that require it.
