Hi all,

Just wondering from peoples personal experience, which is best. My car is closed roof, but owning a convertible is not impossible in the future. I know some circuits won't allow open face helmets in open top cars, but will a closed faced helmet be a sweaty mess after a couple of on track hours.

Thanks

Not really that hot, more likely your neck will hurt if you haven't worn a helmet before.

I have a closed face simply so I can drive / passenger in any car. Also has the physicology of feeling safer.

Closed. I know a few drivers who have had stones come in through the window and hit there visor when its done. Also what about if you loose it and hit the barrier sideways? You get glass all over your face :0.
