Hi all,

Looking for recommendations of eye protection people use while in open top seven type cars ?!?

I'm going to get a helmet for faster and track use but just thought about what people have on when cruising and where to buy?!?

all info welcome cheers in advance Mark

Merry xmas to all .....

I bought a TUV approved full face bike helmet from Lidl for £20.
After other comments a few days ago on the same subject, I may change for one with a flip up front.
Still a cheapo though, the roll cage is to protect my noggin.
Maybe a paint ball mask.

A roll cage without a helmet can be more dangerous in a crash, your noggin ends up being whacked by a scaffold pole !

You need a decent helmet that fits well, get hit on the forehead by a bee at 70 will hurt with just goggles on.

I've always assumed that a helmet is the best plan regardless of whether it's a trip to the shops or an attempt at the Silverstone lap record.
