Good auto-X helmet?

Can anyone recommend a good helmet for auto-x? I would think it doesn't need to be full face or pricey. Anyone run an open face helmet?

an M rated helmet should be fine, they can be had for as cheap as $60 online through some of the motorcycle stores.

My advice is to check with your autoX rules to make sure what spec helmet is necessary and then go try them on in person, many helmets fit different people differently... you need to find a brand that is comfortable to you.

Oh for sure. If someone sucked and wore that helmet, he'd never live it down.
