| Headsock drying | Login/Join |
DRR Pro |
If and when we go racing this year, I plan to start wearing my head and neck restraint and will need to wear a headsock. How does everyone dry them between runs or do you just keep a couple and swap them every few runs? I will wash them week to week, but wondered about sweat during each day of racing.

Don’t use a sock, use a helmet skirt, problem solved | |||

Wash after each race or like you said, buy two. I love mine, keeps my helmet clean. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right. Here I am....... | |||

I had Simpson install a helmet skirt this off season, way better that a head sock, its also much longer than a sock offering much more protection from fire getting inside the helmet which is the whole point | |||

exactly and a whole lot better than putting a dirty sweaty sock over your head/face every round.  | |||

Do the skirts need to be added by the manufacturer or can they be added by the end user? I have never dealt with a helmet skirt before but it sounds better than the sock. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

Either or. Our helmet skirt is attached with Velcro that comes with it. | |||

So with a skirt you put the helmet on and put the strap on, tuck it in the jacket, zip jacket up and then put on Head and Neck restraint? Rob Robertson | |||

I dont tuck mine in, just pull it down over the neck restraint after putting the belts on | |||

I thought about a skirt but the headsock keeps my helmet lining cleaner and it's easy enough to wash it with water between rounds, lay it on the cage and let it dry. Cheap enough to replace once in a while also compared to lining of the helmet. Using my cool shirt vest I don't sweat that much anyway.

Thought about buying cheap electric leaf blower and making a bracket to blow into helmet to dry in between rounds could do same with head sock | |||

I have two head socks and one skirt. Use what ever you want, does not matter. I usually wear the head sock and then throw it in the washer after each race. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||

I use a head sock. I’d rather get that sweaty instead of the helmet liner. Throw it over the roll bar after a run and it’s usually dried out by the next run. If it’s a super hot day I put a slightly sweaty sock on for the next run, no big deal. I’ve never used a neck roll but I imagine that it’s very hot on a hot day. | |||

I still use a neck collar with my Hans, cut it down a little and slide it through. Ken | |||
