And white is cooler (temperature), easier to paint, and easier to keep looking nice after plenty of use.

Go outside on a blazing hot summer day in a black t-shirt and then a white t-shirt. Now imagine that difference wrapped around your dome piece with 1.5 inches of thick padding.

The fire suits were hot, but I was allright at GT Live with just a black helmet on in the sun. i mean, yea, it heats up, no question. im just more tolerant of heat, i guess.

You are badass like Chuck Norris.

No one said it’s intolerable (I have a black helmet too… before I learned the above points), its just more comfortable in a white one.

What was your suit made out of? How many layers? I dont care who you are, when I’m all gussied up in nomex and fire retardant crap it is freaking HOT.

I’ve only seen 2 race cars catch fire in motion in my entire life. Minor concern for me, but a shitty way to die.

Feel free to quote this when I crash and my shit catches fire.

i’ve bought some harnesses/ other small stuff from them. a friend of mine from mass. worked there over a year ago, i’ll have to ask him if hes still there. i’d have to agree. they conduct business in a very organized in professional manner. they’re shipping is very fast as well.
