Snell SA2005 Helmets Get 1-Year Reprieve
Traditionally, helmets get phased out ten years after the Snell date, meaning SA2005s wouldn't be legal in 2016. But so far, helmet makers have proven astoundingly slow to get SA2015s out in volume. As a result, we're giving you one extra season--sound, undamaged SA2005s will now be accepted (with stern advice to upgrade ASAP!) through January 2017. Just remember, the SA2015 spec brings major safety improvements. We very strongly advise you to get one as soon as possible
