Motocross helmet for track day

[BobbyMoore]

cant find any recent questions around this so thought I'd ask.

I look like a complete r****d in an open face helmet and have been told that full face ones can loose some vision so thought maybe a motocross helmet would be a good compromise but ultimately I guess safety has to take a presedent over looks.

Does anyone / has anyone used motocross helmets for track days and have you ever had any issues with the staff? Don't really want to lob on and get one if I can't use it. Normal tracks will be brands hatch and lydden if that makes any difference

Pretty sure I've read on one of the organisers website that they are not allowed.

Black and white there pal...

 

[BobbyMoore]

Top stuff. Thanks

 

[Sam Linssner]

You do get helmets that are sort of halfway between the two. Like a full face with no visor. Like this

 

[BobbyMoore]

Hopefully something like that will make me look less like I have a turban on

i genuinely don't know why anyone wears a full face on a track day?

Why can you not wear a motoX helmet? Surely if they are road worthy, they can be track worthy?

Serious question btw.

Why can you not wear a motoX helmet?

Have you thought about getting one that fits?? That looks about 2 sizes too small! Lol

Was the last rental they had left. Hence not wanting to risk looking like a plonker again. Lol

Look better and more protection. Plus you can go in open/soft top cars with full face.

Choice of 2 helmets, 1st is a large OMP full face, hasn't got the flame proof lining but still a nice helmet, just used for 1 Rallyx meeting, bit of kart in and the odd track day, £40 posted

2nd up is my large V2 pro, flameproof lining but no hans posts, some stickers removed but has the original spares if wanted to put some back on. Used for 2 seasons of sprints and hillclimbs, always with a balaclava until I bought my Sparco peltor intercom helmet. £80 delivered

Black helmet sold
