Will Snell 2010 be good for use in 2016.........or do we all need new helmets?
-
.....I thiiiiiiiink, you've got ten years, then on a helmet with NO WEAR or discernable degradation a two year grace period.... so the 2010 stuff if in perfect condition is good til 2022....
-
I'd like to thiiiiiiiiiink likewise...............I bought a new helmet in 2011 but it had a Snell 2005 tag and used it that year only..........then had to buy a new Snell 2010 unit for 2013 and I used it again in 2014 for 3-runs. Maybe if I get famous I could look forward to autographing my 'old' helmets for some cash :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
The real reason I ask is to be prepared.

There is a post on this very subject in the "safety" section of this forum. :cheers:

Great minds thiiiiiiiiink alike :-D..........I only wish it was so :-) The BMST requirements may differ from SCTA........with consideration for the AMA & FIM.

I guess the helmet (anything) dealers will continue to sell the old stuff first. A handful of years ago I ordered a helmet or a tire or something online -- and got one that was "new" but manufactured 4-5 years before. In other words -- I got one season before it was out of date.
So I learned then to specify on the order form (paper, electronic, or phone) that the item must be of recent manufacture - and then I state what date(s) I will accept. When the critter arrives and is too old I raise a stink and they send me the one I wanted, not the one they wanted to move out of dead stock.
