Hedtec, MSA/FIA legal. Search members, Guillotine sells them. Unbeatable quality for price.

They are the best/cheapest approved helmet around.
Motorcyle helmets cant be used on most TDs/sprints etc.
SOME TD organisers specify full face for "open" cars...ie roof off.
hedtec are approved (and I have used them for) everything from a TD to International racing.
just put hedtec into fleabay, you'll find them
Cheers

other manufacturers are available

In the UK you'll need full face if you want to do track days with the roof down.

Best bet is not to buy one online but try one on in the shop because the last thing you want on a track night is a badly fitting lid unless you know your exact size and the brand you are buying are comfortable for you. I went to a local Bike shop and bought this for box lid £40, ideal for track nights and i just removed the visor as i don't need it in the Cerb.
