Topic: total rookie, buying a helmet. What to look for?
I have found a team, signed up, and need all the safety gear. I have bought many helmets over the decades for motorcycle racing, and general riding. But I have never bought an auto-racing helmet.
The rules are clear: a Snell SA2015 full face helmet. So far so good.
Looks like I can get one from about $150 to several thousand. How do I make an intellegent choice?
Do all SA2015 helmets have the HANS mounting points?
Are they all equally fireproof?
are there any features that are especially useful in car racing? say a bladder to lift the helmet off your head?
are there special requirements/features for follks like me who use bifocals?
etc ?
Thanks
Pat
