AFAIK, the main difference between an SA and M helmet is the fire rating (M helmets are not fire rated). If you're not wearing full fire protective clothing, having a fire rated helmet isn't a deal breaker. I've never heard of a local HPDE requiring SA rated helmets, but obviously, this varies.

The Helmet got here yesterday and I was just going to say "fig it" and keep it, but I tried it on and its super tight, not to mention I couldnt get my glasses on, so its going back. This is why I want to try a helmet on locally, but dont know where to do that without paying $500 for the Helmet
edit: Spoke to the guy at SafeRacer and was ready to buy the RaceQuip Pro15 SA2015 from them, but I need it by Friday and they charge another $40 for 2 day express while Summit Racing charges $15, so I ordered it from Summit. Hopefully this one fits better, the guy at SR recommended it over the Zamp Racing one I was also looking at. What a headache, I hope this all works outLast edited by 2mAn; 11-09-2016, 12:40 PM.Simon

it can be a headache yes....literally and figuratively
I had like 4 helmets over the last 12 yrs of tracking.
You really need to NOT rush the process.....try on as many as u can. I ended up buying like 20 helmets online to get all the models that interested me....I made sure all could be returned......a bit of a hassle yes but worth it. I also tried on like 20 helmets over the yrs during track events..
i wear my helmet for like 8 or 9 session of 25 mins each, instructing, driving etc etc.....it needs to fit well.....
try OG racing , Northstar motorsports....pegasus....they are cool if u explain the deal.I love sitting down and just driving!

It's not rational, I know, but the image of melting visors gives me the jeebies.
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
