Helmets

Jim,
There for a moment I thought you were "Doubling up" on the protection.

I was thinking about an open face for my door car and closed face for the Roadster. I've become a little claustrophobic and might need the open space inside the car.

Simpson Voyager and the G-force have the largest. Both have large apertures and have forced air available which is good to keep the glasses from fogging on those hot humid days .
I thought that was a good thing at first, but I have have to tape up the guard rail side of my visor on my G-force Air from lane to lane because I see too much !

Agree with Tom...my G-Force has a huge opening for glasses, even bought it a touch larger than I really needed. The SA rated lining is cooler too.

I have come to consider the full face helmet as dental insurance. With carbon fiber, they can be lighter than old style open face helmets.

Adger...here are some options...

Wow, I would like to have been in the Snell Labs when they tested those... LOL! Thanks Joe, I needed that humor this morning.

I would like to have one like the Nascar pit crews wear. They have a huge facial opening. I hate the full face helmet and restricted vision. I wear my open face when I am above 10.00. I will have to re-think when I have to buy a new one next year. my 2005 will be expired at the end of this year.

Cooter has a large G Force for sale; price makes it seem like the CFG type.
