Just wondering what people's thought are on them?

Obviously needed, and whilst I don't want to scrimp on something that it going to potentially preserve what little brain cells I have, I would rather save a few pennies and spend them actual track days.

I've been looking at this one on tweeks. Seems ok, but not safety rated (Snell/FIA):

The other, costing just under a tonne more, is this one from V2 which appear to get some good reviews:

Is the latter a little overkill for just trackdays? Open faces are obviously cheaper, but full face would be needed if I ever decide to track the S2000.

Has anyone got either of the above?

I have an open face one, spent about £200 on it IIRC, which I deemed to be a good compromise. I reckon anything £150 and up I'd trust, I have a few cheapo ones as well for passengers if they don't have one, but I value my head more than other people's.

No idea where I got those numbers from, just a feeling.

I use my old bike one for the trackdays but will have to get a valid one for when I eventually start racing.
