Race Suits

Personally what I need is to wear a balaclava and a new helmet with the visor down.
Who runs with their visor down and is it a must to have a hose hookup blowing air? With my visor down everything just fogs up.

I treat my visor with anti-fog before every event and run it cracked at the bottom. In an impact, it will swing closed with inertia. I do agree that it doesn't do much for a flash fire. I need to work on just wearing it fully closed.

I've tried to start running with my visor down, but I have the fogging issue as well. If I remember I'll put it down and leave it cracked open just a bit, seems to reduce the fogging. I do wear a balaclava though. If nothing else it keeps a lot of the sweat out of the helmet.

I don't have a helmet blower or a cool shirt.

I've been contemplating switching to a white (or bright color) suit for a while now just because of the heat, but James made a good point about visibility also.

I had committed to the black stig look early on in life, but if I buy a suit again I'm going bright for sure.

i have a helmet blower that i rigged to run through my ice chest then into my helmet. like AC on your head. I had it in my old car just haven't spent time yet putting it in cmc car. works great

Did you buy a helmet ready to accept that or retrofit it? My problem is headroom when it comes to adding a top mounted blower inlet or simply buying a helmet with one already installed.

my bell helmet offered it as a literal bolt on option. The hose connector comes separate and you screw it on.
