Any thoughts on this type of helmet
I am looking for a helmet for use on track days in my Cobra with windscreen - found this and rather like the idea of the flip up chin bar. Helmet must
be SABS approved - any thoughts about suitability. Price looks good too at 90 pounds.

I have a Caberg version of the same thing, good in a car, easier to speak to people just by flipping the whole top up!

Looks fine by me, it'll protect your head from a bang and your eyes from a bee

If they were made in the UK minimum I'd be looking for would be ACU approved, but nice looking helmets anyway

Flip-ups are great, I've used them for a decade - will only wear a full-face when race regulations twist my arm.
Box and HJC also produce some well priced versions.
Try before you buy, different manufacturers suit diifferent shaped heads (I can't wear an Arai).
Just remember to duck when you when you walk through a doorway with the face up ...
