The rule of thumb in motocross/snocross is. If you have a $100 head, buy a $100 helmet. Helmets only have to MEET DOT and SNELL approval… Higher end companys like HJC,FLY,SHOEI ect… well surpass the expectations. I would think a motorcycle helmet would work just fine… After all Tom Mets (monster truck driver) wore a motocross helmet and I’m sure that leauge has a helmet rule ---

if you ever plan on doing NASA racing or anything skip the open face helmets, theyre as good as a paperweight. also if you plan on NASA get the auto helmet since it has fire protection but it costs a lot more. if you own a bike helmet some places will let you use it, but dont buy a car helmet for riding a bike, most of them are illegal on bikessince the visibility is reduced ---

I can’t understand why anyone would wear an open face helmet. Do you like your face? Many people probably hate your face, but you probably prefer it the way it is and not all fucked up. ---

Yeah I think they look kinda gay too, but that not the point, and although I do not plan on hitting a wall or something, I would want my face to be protected, that why I bought a full face [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/racing-helmets/41314.md?page=2)
