Well, i use this one. HJC FG7 https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...17-toba-helmet
More comfortable than my Arai riding helmet. Doesn't breath as well, but i'm also getting sprayed in the face with water at 100mph.

Couple thoughts here on this topic.
We definitely recommend not using a motorcycle helmet if you're going to be doing any automotive events. Automotive helmets are designed specifically for multiple impacts and are fire retardant.
Second we highly recommend getting properly fitted by a professional before purchasing a helmet, this is critical. We've seen many drivers come in with helmets they've purchased online that are not the proper size, despite the fact it "feels like it fits good" to the customer. This can greatly increase the risk of head injuries in the case of an accident.
Third.. what's your budget? High Mid-Range Low

Different brands are shaped differently. Trying on different brands and different sizes from each of these Brands is important to proper fitment. You could probably narrow it down significantly in a local motorcycle shop if you had no better resources and then buy that brand in an automotive style helmet from one of our vendors or whoever you desire. If the Snell M version fits then the SA version will probably fit because it is theoretically sized for the same head.

OP, go find a race shop and talk to them. This is not a question easily answered on the internet. All brands fit differently, and even some models within the brands fit differently than others in the same line. Helmets are definitely not one-size-fits-all.
