Sparco Rally Helmet

I thought it was about time I upgraded to a proper saloon car design helmet from my 1980's Everoak :oops:

The helmet looks like:

I have to say I was astounded when I got it out of the box on wednesday morning as to the non-existent weight of it

- it virtually floated out being carbon composite.

Fit wise I went for a medium and it fitted my 58 cm head perfectly apart from the cheek bolsters that made my look like "chubby go faster" - must lose some weight

but overall a very easy helmet to wear and live with.

A good point for me is the integral sun visor across the top of the opening so that a simple tilt of the head will block out early evening sun coming up to the Karussel which almost blinded me last year at the ring.

Nomex Interior too is also a very nice feature and something that I wanted.... I have to do all I can to preserve my boyish good looks :whistle:

Marks out of Ten I would give it 9/10

Thanks to Lloyd @ JRD Services for sourcing one of these for me to replace my aging kevlar shelled Everoak ... cheers :thumb:

no opportunity of a group buy or similar lids in the BP shop offering discount?

looks like a nice lid too

Dunk handed me the helmet - there is no weight to it - it's amazing how something can be so light but obviously strong

there's a joke in there somewhere?
