SA2020 Helmets

SA2020 Helmets. Even though most racing groups allow same helmet use for 10 years, Snell recommends that you update your helmet every 5 years. If your motto is "cleanliness is next to Godliness", you are good for an extended time period. But, for everyone else, the majority 90% of you, your helmet is GROSS. It should be replaced AT LEAST every 5 years. Degradation of the helmet interior due to grime buildup will lessen its ability to perform as intended, putting you at risk of injury. This is the purpose for the "5 year" rule. Another reason is that technology advances in leaps and bounds. Snell creates and implements a new standard every 5 years - using those advances - for the sole purpose of safeguarding the wearer. We have friends at the Snell Foundation and are assured that extensive scientific testing and subsequent outcomes are applied to updated ratings. 

The SA2020 and FIA8860-2018 have been gradually arriving and will continue to do so as production catches up with demand. On this next generation of auto racing helmets you will see some of the best graphics, lightweight carbon fiber, better aero, more ventilation, and head and neck restraint readiness, just to name a few features.
