Still trying to decide on the rent vs buy racing helmet decision. From an M3 mailing list:

"Most important reason to buy a SA2000 helmet: More and more DE events are requiring SA rated helmets. Last year about 50% of the applications I saw were SA only. Year before that is maybe 20%. Lots of events updated their event requirement sheets last year due to the phasing out of SA90 and M90 helmets, so in a lot of cases they left of M95 & M2000 when they rewrote it.

Quoted from http://www.smf.org/faqs.html:

Q: What are the differences between the SA and M standards?
A: SA Standard was designed for auto racing while M Standard was for motorcycling and other motorsports. There are three major differences
between them:
- SA standard requires flammability test while the M standard does not;
- SA standard allows narrower visual field than M standard (Some SA helmets may not be street legal);
- SA standard has rollbar impact test while M standard does not."

Anyone sell SA helmets locally other than just ASW?<ul><li><a href="http://www.smf.org/faqs.html">http://www.smf.org/faqs.html</a</li></ul>
