Re: Helmets
Ed is correct. I still have a SA2000 and was told at Gainesville it will be good through the end of the year. Jim

Re: Helmets
I think the 05`s expire in 2014. Get the latest design you can get to last you longer. Helmet`s are too expensive to "expire" in a few years!

Re: Helmets
Call Kyle at HelmetCity. He can set up with a great helmet. I recommend an SA over an M. Liner is made of different materials.

Re: Helmets
Per the Snell website, SA are also designed for repeated impacts.

Re: Helmets
Of course, 2005 helmets are good only about half as long as 2010. Other criteria are good snug but not tight fit, size of the window, especially if you wear glasses. The Bell S2r or SR Pro fits my bean. I test fit it at SEMA before buying. Different brands seem to fit different shape heads.
