My family has always used Simpson bandit stuff. And all the drivers my father has used, used the bandit. I am currently using the f/c bandit.

What class and speeds are you going for too.

Since I race motocross too, I suggest that you get a high quality helmet. No matter what class you run. How much is your head worth to you.(or you daughters)

 

Nice web sight too. I would suggest the f/c bandit for sure. I'm driving an ex-Skuza avenger bodied advanced et alcohol funny car too.

Good luck this year.

I use the Speedway Vudo (they also have a fresh air version - ideal for F/C). It's very light, easy to see out of, and with the lowered face port; the visor doesn't fog up. I had the Speedway Shark before that, also a very good helmet.

Yes, I have an opinion. Go somewhere where she can try a ton of them on and see which one fits the best. Different heads fit different things. My head cannot fit in a Simpson. (Not safely.)
Playing college football for years, I learned about different fits in helmets and taking hard hits all day. The fitting is way more important than the make up. Get the right fit for safety, not the one with the features or the coolest look. Hopefully it is both. But buy when it fits right, not what features the catalog says.
