I'm looking at buying a helmet to be used just a few times a year that would be acceptable at most tracks and somewhat easy on my wallet.

Clarification: for SCCA Club Racing, an SA2005 helmet is acceptable through the end of calendar year 2016. An SA2010 helmet will likely be good through the end of calendar year 2021. SCCA does this to give a year for supplies to be adequate and to prepare you for replacement.
I'd buy an appropriately-priced helmet for my head, but I can't find any that cost $5. So instead I bought a Sparco SA2010 carbon fiber helmet when the 2015s were released in October, and got a killer deal. I usually like to replace my helmet every 5 years or so anyway so the off-year deals are a good value. Note there's not a lot of difference technologically between SA2010 and 2015; as I recall it's mostly related to HNR tethers. There was a big difference for 2010, in regard to impact testing. Obviously, I have no personal issues using an SA2010-standard helmet for the next 5+ years. GA |
