    The open ones would be better for the car as it can get hot. espically if your engine heats up

    It's a Simpson

    My Dad has the one (Outlaw)

    that The Stig had before his current one. Set me and my Mum back £350 between us but it's damn good. Not road legal for bikes though. We bought him if for Christmas I think. He wants to have it sprayed up as Predator lol

    Buy the best helmet you can afford, a good quality helmet could save your life.

    Yeah, that's what Simpson helmets are made for mostly

    That's why most Simpson helmets from what I know have a little eyelet on the side cos they get attached by some sort of wire in the car (suppose really to stop them from jolting forward too much if they were to crash)

    The only reason the bandit isn't road legal for bikes etc is because of the space from side to side - it's wider than the road legal helmets so my dad says

    If you need anymore info just drop me a PM and I'll be happy to help.

    Just cos a helmet costs more than another doesn't mean it's any safer. You should go with a brand you know are reknowned (sp) for safety rather than cost etc
