When will helmets with a 2010 Snell sticker become mandatory?
have not seen any proposal so you likely have one or two more years on the 2005. normally the standard is not changed until the new ones are readily available.
Snell 2010 helmets have been readily available for quite some time. The 2015 Snells will start coming out in about 14 months.
From the horses mouth... (SNELL).

That's the 2015 sticker. My question is when the SCCA is going to make (at least) a 2010 sticker mandatory, i.e., when will I need to replace my 2005?Quote:

They normally do not change the recommended helmet minimum requirements, until new helmets have been available for a year.
Again, I'm not asking about the 2015. I'm asking about the 2010, which has already been available for about three years.Quote:

If that's the case, then the 2010 Snell sticker probably would become mandatory 1/1/2016 (rather than 2017).Quote:

My first helmet was a Snell 2000.
Last SCCA Annual sticker was applied for 2008.
Logically, if SCCA is consistent, the 2010 should be good to get a 2018 sticker.
I have a 2005 Snell with a 2014 SCCA annual tech sticker.Quote:

2005 helmets will be good until the 2020 sticker comes out.
From the 2015 rules,
"All helmets meeting the latest or two immediately preceding Snell Foundation
standards (SA2015, SA2010, SAH2010, SA2005, SA2000, M2015,
M2010, M2005, M2000, K2010, K2005, K98)
no that is wrong.Quote:

As soon as 2015's are available, buy one.

jbrannon7 is quoting from the Solo rulebook which allows an extra five years of use. For us cone chasers, the currently legal 2000 Snell helmets must be replaced when the 2015 spec is released. There is no grace period like the club racers get. After all, we have already gotten 15 years of use out of the ratty old helmets.Quote:

Bear in mind that the Snell Foundation finalized the SA2015 standard in October 2014. The link I posted is to a press release from that time frame.Quote:

When the 2015 SA's come out, why buy a 2010 ? If you have to update, update to the latest & safest (assuming).

Dave, thanks for the Snell post.
Don't egg'em on buckaroo, a 2010/2015 ain't gonna save ur butt any more than a 2005, JMO
