buy a new one bro...... you sweat alot in a helmet.

[MYDC5R]

cheap generally mean heavier and less comfortable helmets and generally get hotter quicker...

the best...if you can find your local street bike forums and find them selling them for 2nd. I sold my shoei helmet which i regret now as i'm going to track next year....i bought brand new for $800 and sold for $280.

It doesn't have to be full face to race at the track, just ADR approved. Any motorcycle helmet would do.

If you do indeed buy second hand, you have to make sure that you're able to test the helmet before purchasing it. Its vital that it fits well.

only need to meet Australian Standard and should have a sticker.

i just bought an AGV K3 Rossi rep for around $300 and it's pretty good for the price.

Get a decent motorbike helmet. Full face and visor. I actually drive with the visor up, but when I do go karts its very nice to have a visor. And with a removable, washable interior.

If you want to do drags the compliance required is a step more modern than the tracks require, at least it is here. Check the requirements to make sure you cover all the possible uses.

$300 will get you a very good helmet for track use. The top end bike helmets like shoei are great for bikes but a bit over the top for cars.

Got this for like $120.



Walked into a bike shop (At Springwood) that was having a huge sale, told them I don't own a bike, don't intend on owning a bike, and just need a helmet for taking my car to Willowbank and QR... and the occasional Go Kart day. He knew it had to be Aus/NZ approved (As they get quiet a few people buying helmets with the same request), and all I had to do was pick the one without the stupid tribal pattern on it.

I got my helmet from https://www.thehelmetwarehouse.com.au/store.php a while ago, sometimes you can get last year's model cheap. I got mine for around 160 when it use to be 600 bucks.
