i after a racing suit in L or XL and an FIA approved lid if anybody's got one knocking about. i don't really want to buy new for my first season's racing
Suits take ages to go out of date, so if you buy new they last, it also means you can pick them up on ebay and there is life left in them.
If you can buy a new helmet, that way you know the history, ie, it hasnt been dropped and covered up. You can pick the V2 Sport helmets up, new for less than £150, they havnt been dropped, and have never had someone elses sweaty head in them
