Tell me about helmets
OK, so I need a new helmet and I want it to do dual purpose. I need it for street riding a motorcycle and it has to be compliant for track days. Track days would be in a sedan or Cobra replica so open cockpit there.
I like the Bell Sport EV with the large eye ports but I see RaceQuip is sold through reputable dealers and is half the price. Plus it has a chin spoiler which may be useful on the bike and open cockpit.
Then, there are other makes from Zamp, Pyrotect, G_Force and so on I see at places like Summit Racing that are also priced well below the Bell.
I know that if they are SA2105 they are safe, but there is the comfort factor as well as functionality with the shield, can you wear sunglasses with them and so on.
Anyone have experience with any of these? I know the Bell and RaceQuip I can probably get a fit test by swinging over to Pegasus Racing but not sure on the others.
