Because they are being advertised as Motorcycle helmets it is 99.9% certain
that they are not suitable for motorsport use.
You might think that as they are AS 1698 certified that they are, but
there is a catch. This standard covers helmets that are certified for either
motorcycle or vehicle use, and the helmets have to pass different tests for
each use. The only way that you can tell is by looking at the label sewn
inside the helmet. On that label it will say either:-
For motorcycle use only
Or Vehicle users helmet
Helmets suitable for motorcycle use only are not permitted to be used in
motor cars and certainly not for motorsport.
We have already spotted a couple of these being used and knocked them back.
