Helmet Suggestions

[arollingstone]

had a bit of an unfortunate off on the bike the other day, and my head made contact a good few times so although my helmet is only lightly scratched, I'm going to change it just to be safe.

Is it possible to get a full face helmet that I can use on the bike, and also use for racing(cars)?

suggestions would be muchly appreciated

Not saying one doesn't exist but they are generally designed for different types of impacts. Car helmet designers expect your lid to bounce around the cockpit a few times as you roll, whereas bike helmet designers expect you to slam once into the ground.

If you're doing trackdays in a car, you'll might get away with a bike helmet but I've never tried so I can't be certain.

Helmets for car use generally also have fire protection whereas Bike ones do not.

I USED to do track days with a Bike helmet .

Doing stuff a bit more serious than trackdays, so i guess two helmets in order?

Unless I just get a good driving helmet and use that on the bike...
