its a RAYS from MCA's here in sydney. Just basic and generic looking but do the job. Has the current australian standards sticker so its safe.
My point is there is no reason to buy a 2nd hand helmet !

good advice. I don't see the point in buying a second hand helmet for use in a car on the track either. I paid $70 for a brand new (open face) AS1698 helmet. Cash converters was looking for $69 for something similar (but much older and used).

u could prolly get away with using a 2nd hand helmet for track days tho (car, not bike, lol)

Some trackday organises inspect the helmet too. If it "looks" old, they might reject the helmet. At $60, it is cheaper to buy a new one. Even renting one on track day is almost $20. Not worth it.
