...any good?
Helmets.
Another bit of free advice, which comes from my paranoia, get a full face helmet. You are not forced to have one in a Lotus but you are in an open car, if you want a go in a Caterham you will need FF.
Scary story, after leaving the pit lane at Dony I pulled my visor down, seconds later I was smacked by a flying stone just above the eye, cracking the visor. Lesson to self, pull the visor down earlier, even if it steams up. That was in a Caterham but it was still a good safety reminder.
Cycling mate is having his left eye rebuilt from a flying stone (cycling) and was wearing safety glasses. Really unlucky but safety, safety, safety…..

I echo the advice about trying on. Comfort is so important. You want it to fit right and you'll forget you have it on. It's also only safe if it fits properly. Another consideration is weight; You want it as light as possible (budget allowing). Again this makes it more comfortable and arguably safer.
I've also got an Arai shaped head, so have their lids.
