What helmet is legal this year.
I've got an M2000. Headed to Gators in a few weeks.

The 2000 series helmets are good for 2011.Next year 2005 starts as mandatory.And get a good SA2005.Your head will thank you.

Thanks.

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

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!

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.

Per the rulebook:

SA 2000 expires 1/1/2012
SA 2005 expires 1/1/2017
SA 2010 expires 1/1/2022

M helmets have nylon interiors
SA helmets have nomex fire resistant interiors
