quite a trick lid, is there any reason people are going for open faced ones? or is it a case of visability?

Far easier to smoke a joint with it on compared to a full face helmet

I got mine from www.racevisors.co.uk full racing helmet with visor and helmet bag for £55 delivered - Brand new!!

It is the cheaper range, but i don't do a lot of track days so i didn't see the point in spending a massive amount??? When it came i was stunned how good the build quality and finish was!!

Tight arse!

My missus bought me this for Christmas! PS ignore Demon Tweeks sizing chart............Its way off!

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/produc...ode=SPA335LBLK

Use the sizing chart off GPR or the Sparco website!

I'm assuming its ok if you're wearing harnesses?

I'm going to be purchasing one over the next couple of weeks for this track day season and I'm gonna go for the Sparco Cub as above
