Got a pair of sidi vertebra race boots. Used, pretty worn but I used them no problem size 43 (9.5) but they will be fine with thick socks like mx socks.
$50?

The suit james (union) has for sale here will fit you. I'm a 32 waist with 29 inseam and it fit me well when I owned it. Great suit too.

The Nolan helmet is a flip-up.... A solid full face is preferred, but a flip-up isn't a huge deal for track days, at least with Tony's Track Days. We see em from time to time in tech inspection.& approve them.

From the TTD website on Rider Preparation:

HELMET:
At the NJ track, a SNELL 2000 or 2005 helmet is required. This is a NJ state law (one that we do not agree with, by the way!).

At the New Hampshire track, an UNDAMAGED, full-faced helmet with DOT, SNELL, or BSI rating. A high-quality "flip up" type helmet will also be allowed.

HELMET FIT: It is imperative that your helmet fit properly. There should be no space between your head and face, and the cheek and forehead pads. If anything, the pads should gently compress your face. If you can easily fit a finger between your head and the pads, then your helmet is improperly fitted and may not adequately protect you in a crash.

PLEASE ... DO NOT show up with a "too big" helmet! Want to learn more about helmets and testing? Read this:

Yeah I am sure they are fine unless you crash. and Nobody crashes at Track days

I just picked up an HJC for $120. How old is your Nolan?

Try the WERA BBS for used racer gear. Full suits for around $300.

You can get a new 2 piece for around $500.

Baggey22 is selling a GREAT pair of boots for $100.

He asked if a flip-up helmet was safe enough for a track day.
I told him what Tony's rules are.

whatever

Those flip up things are about as safe as Open face helmets. But to each his own

[OreoGaborio]

I never gave my opinion on their safety. I did say full face are preferred, though (for reasons that I think are obvious).

For what it's worth, I don't think i've ever personally heard of anyone who has had one fail and flip up on them in the event of a crash. But with that said, I also understand there is a risk of that happening... thus I wouldn't personally wear one at the track.

You saw it coming? My first crash I felt the tire spin up and next thing I knew I was skipping across the pavement into the dirt. Arai ftw.

[OreoGaborio]

Ted sees everything coming.... He has ESPN.


EDIT: I keep forgetting this is in the WTB section. Sorry Jeff.
