Some of the Peltor do not meet with Boat racing regs as they are Go Kart helmets so be sure to check first !!

I can do Nitro's at the right price but not sure if they are Orange enough for Ski Racing !!

Nitro

Bob the Nitros were ok for last year but not the year unfortunately.

Cheggers PM Burty on here.

I'm sure he has just bought a Laser helmet in the corret orange for under £50.

Meet's the correct spec for ski racing.

I thought at last years forum it was decided to leave the GB helmet rules unchanged? That still leaves you having an argument with the Belgian scrutineer with the huge bushy eyebrows before any European race and needing a red helmet for the Worlds!
