Another note about M vs SA ratings, some manufacturers make both M and SA versions of a particular model helmet. In that case, the fire retardant lining is often the only difference, however there is more than that to the difference between M vs SA

Actually there is a little more than just the flame retardant quality to the SA, most SA helmets are made with at least one layer of kevlar, some are more. As you all know kevlar is much stronger than just fiberglass. Jim
