Thumbs up Helmet help!

My parents gave me 300.00 to spend on a helmet. I dunno where or what make to get.

I know I need a full face SA rated helmet for autoXing. Anyone here of "G-Force racing gear"? Are their helmets good?

I got the Bell Sport 3 also from Morthstar. Originally going to go with the Bell M3 but the staff recommend me try the Sport 3 and it was a much better fit (in terms of helmet roll front to back)

Highly recomend them.

When I drove up the little S2000 looked like a tpy next to the race ready 911 and Dinan M Coupe. Oh well.

I'm going for a SA2005 helmet.

Thanks for the help guys.

I like the Bell Sport3 but it doesn't have a sunvisor. Does the sun get in your face during racing in the S? The only autoX I did in the S wasn't very sunny day so I wouldn't really know if sunlight would be a problem.

They make replacement face shields that are tinted. Although I haven't had an issue with it being too bright. However, I always ran the S top up at the track, and now run a coupe.
