Anyone recommend a place to buy these?

I suppose I really need to try them on but would also be good to know where to buy online.

Joking aside I have a "Box" open face motorcycle helmet. It's the one linked to below, mine is Matt Black. It has all the safely approvals you need for a track day so why spend more? The main thing for safety, assuming it has the correct certification (ECE or DOT) is that it fits you well so buying online might not be the best idea.

I don't hold with the "if you've got a 50p head, buy a 50p helmet" argument. They all have to pass the same standards, depending on what their intended use is so are fit for purpose.

I also have a full face AGV for karting but it gets waaay hot wearing a full face helmet in closed car on track days. You should turn your A/C off or risk toasting the compressor... ask me how I know :(

Here's another online source... http://www.helmetsuperstore.co.uk
