Mate, your head is only worth as much as your helmet cost!

thats why i posted shoei, but do you drive round with your head out of the window, just make sure you get one that is an approved safety helmet. It'll either display a BS6658 sticker on the outside, or an EC approval mark somewhere inside. Only BS 6658 types A & B or EC Regulation 22 type 05 series are legal in the UK, but you get what you pay for

Mines safety approved and was damn cheap,something stupid like £50 (Box - tag line "Contain your self" lol )
but i only ever use it for karting theres something about sticking yer head against someone elses sweat pads that put me off abit
id be happy to use it on a track day too tbh
but if i ever get into bikes id be looking at a better lid for sure
