This, you could spend £2k on a carbon fibre dog-danglies helmet, but if it doesn't fit your head as well as that £30 one you got off ebay, it's likely to do more harm than good. Tight, secure fit is everything with a helmet.
Saying that, if anyone wants a cheap helmet just for trackdays, I do have a few good quality bike helmets in the attic which have never been dropped or knocked, they were just replaced every few years with shinier ones. IIRC 2 of them have the flip up front chins on them so you can use them as open face as well as closed.
Just one thing to be aware of older helmets which may appear to be fine.. The impact absorbing foam liner degrades over time and that's something you cant check visually. If the helmet is over 10 years old my advice is to bin it.
Yep, something else to watch out for. Mind, these were only used for a 18-24 months before being replaced.
