Hey everyone,

Just wanted to get your input on helmets. I just started racing and is trying to jump around instead of sticking to just one type of racing. So I've researched and been looking around for a full face helmet to use for track and autocrossing. My first event had loaner helmets which was great; however, as I am trying to enroll into driving school and attend track events, loaner helmets are scarce and they suggest and recommend that I have my own helmet.
So concerning helmets, is it better to have vents or not? I know drivers leave the window down for the cool air and air flow to circulate through the car, but is that enough cool air to my face if I were to have a full face helmet on? Or should I have vents so it can flow more efficiently into my helmet? Drivers have told me in some instances where people duct table their vents because there is too much air flow into the helmet which can irritate and deter the driver's concentration (the eye), so should I just not get vents? Or lastly, is it really up to the driver's preference? Thanks for helping out.
