Recommendations for a new helmet?

[mikebrosnan]

hello all, i was thinking about buying my first helmet soon. I only have experience with the Bell helmets at the Lime Rock School, so i was figuring i'd stick with that brand. I was looking at the new snell rated helmets and was thinking about going with the gtx.2. it seems to be designed for open wheel racing, which would be great for racing with the skippy series, but realistically any or most of the racing i will be doing will most likely be in a closed cockpit. i do like the way it looks (and i know the better you look the faster you go). i just want to make sure these types of helmets are just as good for closed cockpit cars with ventillation, vision etc. i was also looking at thr br.1. any and all comments or recommendations welcome. thanks
