Hello,

my recommendation: don't buy helmets online. Go to a local shop and test the helmets by putting them on your head. You will see that there are big differences. Some will fit, some won't even if they have the same size. Also there are differences in weight. A light one with the same security level is always the better choice. Don't buy the cheapest, buy the one that fits best to your head contour. If you have the opportunity try the helmet while sitting in the car and closed top. So you can check if you have enough headroom.

Because the car is a roadster a closed helmet will be better if you have a real terrible accident. Open helmets in general offer a little bit more comfort but less security.

Hope that is helpful.

Regards, Markus
