Where can I buy an appropriate helmet?

[CarZee]

Anyone recommend a good place for racewear (helmet, gloves etc) for track day & amateur racing use?

Preferably a shop rather than internet site - ie able to try stuff on & therefore in the Hampshire/Berkshire/Surrey/Sussex areas..

Thanks for the advice guys.. I'd definitely wanna try stuff on before ordering.

Then I'd buy from the shop.. I mean I *could* order from the internet, but I believe that for the sake of a couple of quid extra I'd rather support the people who run the shops where some customer service can be had - as per Manek's experience - rather than shaft them by trying their stuff on then buying from some internet warehouse.

Cotty - is your helmet MSA approved? I'd want this so I don't have to buy another lot of kit when I get round to getting my B license and having a go at racing..

Also, since I'm concerned mainly with tin-tops, I might prefer a rally style open face jobbie.. presumably your karting helmet is full face.. ?

I see.. cheers tvrmark..

Probably could have found that out if I'd bothered to open my blue book..
