IIRC I think helmets are generally good for 10 yrs, snell 2000 good to 2010, 05 to '10. Might be worth it to spring for a snell 2010, i swear reading somewhere that a track was only taking '05 and '10. A few years go by quick these days

SNELL2005 are good until 2015.

You'll probably want to also make sure it's Snell SA-rated since those are designed for auto racing, not motorcycles. Generally, they're lighter in weight and flame resistant.

Here's what I have:

Here's a whole bunch of other choices though, including some really cheap ones if you're ok with Snell2005 and college logo paint:

You'll probably want to also make sure it's Snell M-rated since those are designed for auto racing, not motorcycles. Generally, they're lighter in weight and flame resistant.



I think Kracka means is SA rated. M is "Motorcycle"

Yea I want to go somewhere local to get sizing correct first then I will order online, prolly one of the ones posted :)

Maybe I will check out the motorcycle place to get sizing right. Then order one up.

Thanks guys.

Yeah that is what I did as well. Try and try on the correct manf. they vary a little by size

Is there a local place then that has non motorcycle helmets to try the stuff on?

I got a big head so want to make sure it fits nicely :)

I used the measurement chart online for the brand I bought and it worked perfectly. If you're right on the edge between two sizes, go larger.
