Helmet 2010 snell
« on: January 28, 2016, 11:18:04 AM »
OK. I hope this will not open a can of worms. My helmet has a snell 2010 date. Is it good for this year? How long is it useable.

Helmets with SA2010 or SAH2010 cert are good through 2021. See rule 3.A.2   :cheers:

On the helmet subject I noticed there are now snell 2015 helmets.  Any idea how long these would be good for?  Would it make sense to buy a 2015 rather than a 2010?

I'd say 12 years ( 2027 ) going by the standards posted in the current rule book. Snell along with most major helmet manufacturers suggest replacing your helmet every 5 years due to "material degradation".
