Helmet Certifications for 2011

[DJbrand1]

What are the accepted helmet certs for this season.  Snell 2000, 2005, or 2010?

[Wally]

2005 and 2010 SA or M helmets only.  Be advised the NJMP requires full face helmets with visors.

Anyone recommend any local shops to try some on?

[Bill Lehman]

This shop is not local (North Jersey) but I have had excellant service and Laurette is an experienced and knowledgeable helmet fitter.  http://www.stableenergies.com/

The Safety Tech Info on the RTR page needs to updated. It still states that Snell 2005 is ok for use.

[dmano]

05 is still ok

[DJbrand1]

haha, whoops, my oversight. Doing some helmet shopping and getting all mixed up.

So M helmets are ok for DE?

[the_vetman]

Yes, M-rated helmets are fine for DE.

[Wally]

M rated helmets are allowed for Riesentoter DE's.  If you run with another region they may require an SA rated helmet and full face shield.  Check their requirements before buying a new helmet if you intend to run with them.
To be sarcastic, these are the regions that don't require you to flush your brake fluid,
but if you have the SA helmet and a fire extinguisher you are "safe".
