Race helmets , gloves etc

Post by stylussprinter »

Being determined not to spend silly money on new helmet and gloves (urgently needed ) , fireproof and Snell 2010/helmet , I was hovering between V Pro and Hedtec . Then I browsed the net for helmets anywhere worldwide . While doing that saw fia fireproof Sabelt gloves for £24-99p so bought them. Many hours later over several days I decided to buy a KODEN Snell SA2010 , originally from '' BUSTERS '' an ebay seller at £79-99p delivered -- brilliant --- but no helmet my size and colour choice (black or white). Finally found '' RACEWEAR '' based in Wiltshire who were more expensive but had size/colour choices etc --- a black medium Koden , same spec as BUSTERS but £106 delivered , very pleased :P
A 2010 Snell spec will see me out of competition hopefully , I'd have bought a white one again but thought black would be a change. Busters stocked what they called red but it looked orange , might clash with the Stylus's decor :lol:
Should be here before Goodwood/Saturday plus some name stickers at £2-80p a pair. Getting a bit ' blingy ' :)
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !

The "Red" & "Green" ones are the flourescent safety suit colours.

It looked green to me but they called it yellow --- they must be colour blind :lol:

Just washed/polished and put competition numbers/timing strut on the Stylus , so all ready to load on Friday.

Been contacted to say they have no black my size in stock ---- having bloody ordered some gold helmet name stickers to go on the black :evil:
So , it's white with gold stickers (would have bought red stickers if I'd known)--- not very obvious :roll:

Hemet/white arrived and fits a treat as did name decals but don't show well on white , still a damn cheap helmet to meet SA2010 standard though :P
