RE: Racing Helmet
one thing that i really was concerned with was the padding coming out. it seems that many of them dont have this feature, anhd honestly, i get pretty sweaty in the car. also, i dont like when the pads around the face push against my face...so i take them out..my helmet allows me to snap them in for tech inspection, then take them out.

RE: Racing Helmet
i dont know much about AGV..but snell rated is snell rated.
here is the reason that i like full face helmets...i dont know about you, but i dont like having to squint, so i like having sunglass on while running, and many helmets are snug enough that sunglasses are shoved into the side of your face...for this reason, i bought a full face helmet, with a dark visor...so i can have it down when racing in the day, and up at night.

RE: Racing Helmet
Naaa...the shaded visor isn't that huge of a deal to me. I'll be racing mostly at night anyway. I just suspect the AGV to be a better quality helmet. I did a search and they retail for between $110-140. That model of Bell I actually found on the retail market for the same price that auction is for.

RE: Racing Helmet
so if it says snell aproved is that usually good enough for the track?
I am getting sick of those disgusting track helmets, I know one of these days I am going to end up with lice or something. There are so many different helmets for sale I am always worried that I will pick up one that is not approved
