What Helmet Do You Use?
 

Just wondering what helmets do you guys use?

Any praise/complaints?

Do you have any plans on upgrading? If so, when and why?

HJC AR10 II here.

No complaints, my first helmet and I've gotten used to the weight pretty quickly.

No plans on upgrading.

I also have the HJC AR10II helmet. It's pretty lightweight and stays relatively ventilated. I used to have a G-Force helmet, but that was very heavy and hot.

I have this, it was on sale at local bike shop. As long as it's DOT approved, it's good with me.

Just picked up an HJC FG-17. Snell M2010 rating which is good enough for most autocross and track day events. And it isn't going to kill your wallet

I had an Arai Vector for the longest time, found it works just as well in the car as on the bike. Now I have a Shoei Qwest which I haven't had a chance to get good seat time with. It fits good and has a 2010 Snell rating. Wasn't as much as my Arai, but still spendy.
I'm used to motorcycle helmets and wearing them for multiple hours at a time, so comfort is more important to me than price.

I got my Zamp FSA-2 in last night. First helmet so I can't compare it to anything, but it fits my head fine and doesn't seem heavy to me.

The club I belong to isn't too strict, so I got a snell 2005 motorcycle helmet (HJC CL-15 I think) and they're all fine with it.

Me too, honestly. I have two motorcycles, and I have ridden around the entire country with that helmet on my head, scraped pegs at the tail of the dragon, etc. I think i'm safe enough in my freaking multi-air bag equipped car in a parking lot for auto-X events!

Wayloo WMH2. Comfortable and cheap, but a bit heavy. I'm happy with it though.

For buying something new, you really can't beat these for value.


Just tried one on last Sunday, very lightweight, and comfortable.

189.00 retail, can't beat it.

I use the same Shoei RF 1100 that I use while riding my bike as well. Very comfortable on the bike or in the car. As others already said, the Snell M2010 will work for almost everywhere.

HJC SI-12. Rated for SA2010. Relatively cheap and lightweight. It's one of the lightest helmets you can buy.

An F1 helmet is about 2.75lbs. The SI-12 is about 3lbs. Less weight on your head/neck equals less fatigue.

That's a great helmet!

Bell Star Infusion (SAH2010), pre-drilled for HANS mounts.

Fits my head much better than the HJC AR-10, much more comfortable, and most importantly, forced air for top and side mounts, for those hot summer days I can run the ghetto A/C I rigged up in my Miata race car.

Here it is compared to a HJC AR-10; you can see the differences in the shape:
