I need to get a helmet for my first autocross on sept 20th. Is there one brand better than another. I wear glasses so I will need something that I can get my glasses on with.
Thanks - Garold (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

A lot of people will frown on you if you take the approach of getting the cheapest helmet you can get away with. Fuck them. As long as it is up to date in its safety (Snell-2000 or 95) it will do for auto cross. I also like a full face because I like my face how it is, not split open. There is minimal chance that you will encounter such an impact when AX'ing, but I dont want to take that chance. I got a $100 Motorcycle helmet, full face, and removed the plastic visor. I wear sun glasses when I Ax, and it fits fine
