Another custom painted Sparco SPY2005. I usually tend to get the best helmet I can afford. Its a life saving device, would you buy a cheap parachute? Also, usually the more expensive helmets are better designed for airflow meaning your visor wont fog up. Although I am in a closed cockpit car, almost all organizations will require you to keep the windows down. I got hit in the nose with a piece of tire once that came through the window and into my opened visor. I am lucky it didn't hit my eye. Ever since then, visor down for me. Sunglasses work too, but give me a headache when I squeeze them inside my helmet. Plus using the visor instead of sunglasses expands your peripheral vision. I run a tinted visor 95% of the time and have a clear visor in case I ever run at dusk/night. Another benefit to not cheaping out on helmets is weight. The lighter the helmet, the easier it is on your neck. Thats why I am already saving for a carbon fiber one when it comes time for me to swap to an SA2010.
