Helmet for track use? - Page 3

That Stilo looks pretty sweet.

Check out Stand 21, they are a bit more expensive but make some really quality stuff.

As to the HJC helmet, I tried one on at TWS and found that it fit me pretty well considering that most helmets have a round shape that put a lot of pressure on my forehead. My only concern at the time was that the visor couldn’t be raised as high as I thought it should and I normally drive with the visor up. Do you find that with the visor up it distracts or impairs your vision?

^ I've got the AR-10 II as well, and pretty much always drive with the visor up. I find the field of vision to be pretty good, and the visor doesn't get in the way.

Anyone use a Arai GP-5W SAH2010 Helmet?

Subw00er · 02-11-2012, 06:13 PM

I do, I love it. The Wide makes a big difference. Splurge for the tinted shield.

Do you have any electronics in it?

Subw00er · 03-05-2012, 04:41 PM

no, other than the odd push up type earpiece for instructing.

I just received HJC si-12 and absolutely love it. Fits perfect and looks good.
But i agree that the visor cant be raised high. I dont need it anyway as i wear sunglasses, so i am going to remove the visor and this helmet will be even lighter

Used mine a few weeks ago and was very pleased with the fit. The visor ended up not bothering me a bit.

I wear glasses but I'm keeping the visor on in the cases when the track gets debris on it. One of my instructors got hit by a rock in the side of the helmet last year when we followed a car through some junk. I could hear it hit through the chatter box!

Next time through our visors were down.

you can go to del amp motorsports! they carry alot of top brands, HJC, ARAI, SHOEI, and etc...

skxf430 · 03-09-2012, 03:21 AM

Del Amo only carries motorcycle helmets. They won't have any SA2010 helmets.

Check out either Werks II or Subesports for car helmets.

HJC website lists the RPS10 as DOT and Snell certified but does not say if it either SA2010 or M2010. Also, they don't show the RPS10 in the auto section of the website but place it in the Motorcycle section.

Revzilla who sells HJC helmets list them as M2010 certified.

You may want to verify if your helmet is truly a SA2010 if you are running in structured track days like SCCA, VARA, POC, NASA, etc. as they will inspect for the proper safety equipment.

yea you're right, my helmet is M2010. but the track event I'm going to tomorrow said that ill need a SNELL approved either SA or M thats 2005 or newer so I'm good!

skxf430 · 03-09-2012, 09:04 PM

yes, the casual track days do allow for M certified helmets but some other organizations will only allow a SA rated helmet.

I attended a POC event and they would not allow a M certification, so those people had to rent a helmet for the day.

Have fun at the track.

atruelunatic · 03-10-2012, 07:56 AM

Picked up the HJC motorsports AR-10 II like a bunch of others here. Tried it out at Werks II and fit was great. Will be using it this weekend for the first time.

armyav8tor · 03-10-2012, 08:55 AM

My helmet is basically the cheapest one I could find on Helmetcity which is a Pyrotect open face helmet. I've had it for a few years now, no complaints. I'm not trying to make a fashion statement. I drove on the Nurburgring with t-shirt, shorts and flip flops most of the time, helmet? What helmet?
