most sanctioning bodies accept the current and also last approved helmet
so usually a 10year window however the 2010's are on their way out so the 2015 is the way to go right now also make sure you buy an SA helmet and not an M helmet the M designation is for motorcycle rumored to be designed to take the impact of your head onto concrete during a motorcycle wreck. also not fire proof the SA designation is fire proof lined. Rumored to be designed to take multiple impacts of your head hitting the roll bar and roof as you roll your car over on the ground. most clubs and PCA locally... only accept the SA designed helmets check the rules for your local chapter (or national chapter if club racing) and go with the rules of your club instead of the knowledge of this website. They will specifically tell you what they do and don't accept, while we here are guessing at how your going to use it. |
