I have had 2. Open faced and full face. The shells were basically the same as Bell helmets (mine are from 2005 - 2007) They both have held up well. The difference in quality/price though, is very noticeable in the quality of padding. I only bought these because I had a very specific budget at the time, but looking back, I would invest in another brand with the better padding. In my case, my track days have dwindled down to 1 maybe 2 per year. If you plan on doing more than that, are tracking full road courses, and tend to the push the car, I would invest in some of the higher tier brands ..
