Default What helmet is everyone using?

I've been going to track events for a few years and have been using my arai motorcycle helmet but it's getting old an I've been thinking of getting a new helmet

Debating if I want a full face or open or just get another motor cycle helmet. I was leaning towards a snell helmet as its designed for cars vs motor cycles.

What's the suggestions and the price. I am tryin not to spend too much

I am using ARAI GP-5 and fits perfect on my asian head.

I tried Simpson and Bell but didn't work with shape of my head, which was too narrow and got headache...

Right now we have the hjc helmet at 20% off! The are10 ii starts at 299-20%. Check out the thread in the sale Sefton here. Sa2010 helmets at a great price. I've had arai up until my new hjc. I really like it. It's super light.

HJC Fi-10.

The AR-11 is one of the best bangs for the buck.

I like this bad boy but I've got bigger issues to deal with before buying a baller helmet.

I have a Snell 2000 Icon motorcycle helmet I used for karting and a few track days. I am also in need of an upgrade. Thinking its worth making the jump to a SA rated helmet for the added fire and impact protection.

Are most of you track guys using M or SA rated helmets? I know it largely depends on the type of tracking you are doing, and what the organization lets you use.

Kbc here. It was my motorcycle helmet before I sold my bike. The previous kbc to this one saved my life. I am very comfortable in full face helmets. Fit and safety rating are very important.
