BlackArmor Helmets

2011 Nismo#91

Never seen one before let alone used them. If they have a snell rating then they have been tested so they should be ok. That said, RaceEquip helmets are similarly priced and those I have seen all over.

The most important thing with helmets, besides the correct rating, is the fit. You will be wearing this for at least 30min at a time. It's important to try different ones out, when I went to try out helmets I found that all the Bell ones felt uncomfortable, like something was pressing on my forehead. The HJC ones felt fine, if I had not tried first I would have been stuck with a restocking fee or an uncomfortable helmet for 7 years. Unfortunately there only seems to be online sales for these guys based on their dealers&distributors section.

Finally, seriously consider the weight of the helmet and getting a HANS they have ones that work even without a harness. A heavier helmet will fatigue your neck doing 1+g corners and braking again and again. Also in an accident a 1lb difference could turn into a 50lb difference on your neck, dropping a 50lb weight and catching it with your neck. A Hans would catch that weight first.

This is what I use, Arai open face, you can change the interior to change the fitment, and they are pretty nice.

I would recommend an open face helmet for car use (unless you have an open top).
