Helmets for a trackday

[James_N]

Hi

Im looking at getting a decent helmet to do trackdays in.

I really like the look of the Arai GP5-X

Does anyone have any opinions on it? That dealer is very close to me, so obviously i'll pop up and have a try on, see how it feels and things.

Ive heard good things about Arai helmets, and although its one of the cheaper ones, Its surely gotta be a good one to go for?

Thanks for any advice one may offer.

Get a replica Senna helmet

If not, Simpson Bandit/Super Bandit/Outlaw/Desperado as worn by the Stig

Sure Simpson used to do a really nice carbon fibre helmet as well, but i cant find it now...

Well it was a toss up between Simpson and Arai anyway

I'll be going to try on some Arai ones first, and if they dont quite suit, i'll look at the simpson ones

He was saying it is one of the cheaper Arais.....

Indeed. £300 is peanuts compared to the price of some Arai helmets, but still very good.
