I bought a "hybrid." That is a full face one, but the opening
is larger than a traditional full face racing one. The reason
for that is that for DE's, you can communicate with your
instructor better. Less yelling, etc.

Although here in the Lone Star region our instructors use
a nifty earpiece/microphone setup so we don't have to yell.

Other regions may as well, I don't know.

But if you have to crash, and hopefully you won't (as
does PCA -- they get pretty whacked out about it if
you do), a full face one is better than an open one.

And the G-Force hybrid isn't really all that much more
than an open face one.


You can see them here. I called, talked to a guy named
Ron. Very knowledgeable and helpful. I recommend
them highly.

Hi,

Sounds like you have the Bell M2 or SR Pro Helmet. I have used them both and they're great!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
