Helmet weight is something that has a huge impact on driver fatigue and driving/riding capabilities as well.

I switched from an SA Bell Star full face to a Racequip full face last year. The weight diff is amazing, the cost has come down by about half as well on entry level helmets. The Bell was about $500 when new in the 90's; the Racequip cost $200 USD at Summit Racing last summer.

I wouldn't wear anything but a full face, ever. Visor always down, it protects your eyes/eyelids from being shrapnelled by bugs and dirt/parts flying off the car in front of you.

Also, drop it, and it's junk; even the ones rated for multiple impacts. Helmet bag and taking care of it is important - always sit it down on the bottom, never upside down. Just sayin; for those not in the know.

Yes even one small drop equals time to replace.

Ended up getting the HJC RPHA helmet, love the fit and adjustability.

The fit and feel is the most important. As long as your head isn't getting rattled around like a can of spray paint, it's good.

I take it you are coming to track day bro?

I use Scorpion Helmets. They are all Snell rated and very high quality helmets. It all comes down to what fits your head.
