If you're only ever doing closed car then look for an open face.

i've got a Stilo Trophy Plus, bought for rallying but its sooooo comfy, its got a built in earpiece and microphone which arent needed on track, but i could wear it every day



about Ł270 IIRC from the autosport show, me and a mate bought one each at the same time and they threw in the amplifier for free

i'd much rather have closed face in case i wanna use it on bike/quad/kart etc etc

but thanks for the advice tho

I went for a Sparco 'challenger'(i think), closed face.
You don't realy get any better vision from an open face IMO. Plus a full face is more versitile, i've used mine karting and in my mates Westfield as well.

The BS standard ones are blue label for std and red label for fire retardant lining ones. Or at least that was my understanding.

steal one off a mate it's cheaper, eh chip

Buy the best you can afford.There's no compromise on safety equipment.
