Helmet

[Sirota]

Hi All. I'm flying a Hatz, gentleman acrobatics - nothing too grand. A friend recently has an event in a Husky and his head and face were pretty cut up. Since then I've been thinking about getting a hard shell helmet. Helmets designed for aviation are pretty expensive. Since I wear a Clarity Aloft, I think I could use an open face motorcycle helmet. The big unknown is weight. The motorcycle helmet is 1 - 1.5 ponds heaver than most aviation helmets. Do you think this will be a problem? Do you have any experience or opinion on (1) wearing a hard shell helmet or (b) wearing a motorcycle helmet?

Thanks,
Dave
