Snell compliance goes without saying why would you buy a non-compliant helmet?

In order to have the SA compliance it will have the appropriate impact and fire rating. I brought this up because most people don't consider the problem of having the lining of your helmet on fire when they think "ohh I'll just use my M helmet".

Fire is a real hazard, less of one, usually in an unmodded car but at HDPE events you often are provided rides in your instructor's cars which are often pretty heavily modded. A cage slows down egress considerably for instance.


Food for thought
