I am currently in the U.S & I'm thinking about a new helmet or two, what is the std I should look for , snell sa 2005 or 2010, what is the difference, pardon my ignorance
Sorry, I dont remeber, but will try to find out. Hopefully someone with knowledge will post soon. How is USA anyway, you should give us all a bit of a rundown when you get a chance!
Jones, I thought you would be on your arse having lunch, we are in the middle of our roadtrip, at Vernal Utah, done about 1400 miles so far, about half way between our start in Seattle Washington & stop in Denver Colorado via Jellystone park & lots of other cool spots, can you believe we got a ride in a restored 1968 deuce & a half army truck while firing twin .50 cal machine guns mounted on the roof, seriously cool, AHHH the land of the free, will show you when we get back. Back to the question, any help would be great.
NOTE snell SA95 not valid after 31/12/12 Unless I misunderstand, SA2000 would be ok for a while. Off road uses level B requirements. But anything level A would be ok.

Thanks Steve, I read the link, they all seem to be selling SA2010 so unless I read it wrong one of them should be ok for some time, fits into level A. Hey look this up , we all got a demo run in a 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C competizone, 500 made, 44 in US, he casually told Daneen on her turn he was doing 110mph on quite a short main street in Moses Lake Washington, can you believe they don't have a point system on their licences, if he gets a ticket he just pays & forgets!
