Folks,

Looking to take the 1 onto track mid May and wanted to get a view of supplier(s) for Helmet in the region ? Does one exist? As I'd like to try one on, being a glasses wearer as I'm not sure if I should go open face vs full face. I need to get a reasonable one as if the bug takes me I may go down the ARDs route.

Thanks

Nick

APT in Lenwade would be the first place to try Nick. They have some stock since incorporating SCA and would be able to promptly order anything you need. Shame you're not a bit taller/bigger etc........I'm selling off my Sparco race suit, Alpinestars boots and gloves

Yep,as Stu says worth giving APT / SCA a tinkle.

I prefer open face due to also wearing glasses.

Did you are turn off the auto DCCD then? :)

Nick, would certainly recommend Stu's gloves to you chap, and if you have size 12 feet, all the better.

Um I think gloves is all that could fit but big feet = big hands, any idea on size Stu?
