My view, if something happens and the helmet is to protect you, would you want your face exposed?

that's kind of what I was thinking too. I was about to buy the open face, the closed face was a couple more bucks. I have to protect my sweet face.. jk

Well looks are part of it LOL... But I know a doctor, he says if you really hit something, eye sockets, nasal passages, breathing, jaw, it just ends up being a mess, painful and quality of life stuff. I know we have airbags, but we are not really using these cars like the other 99.99 % of the people who buy them. Maybe I'm old, but better to be safe, than sorry... Glad you're going that way and hope you never have to test it... Have fun!

I wouldn’t ride a motorcycle with an open-face, but in a closed cockpit car, an open-face is my preference. |

I bought my helmet, gloves, shoes, socks and HANS from here: https://www.wdlracing.com. These guys were very knowledgeable. Contact them and ask a few questions.

I use a Shoei RF 1200. Have been using these for years. Breath-ability is no issue for me.
This finish matches my personality the best.
