Topic: Helmets and safety gear
I checked the personal safety equipment for most of you on Friday at MSR. I just wanted to remind everyone to check their Helmet ratings, SA2005 or SA2010 helmets are required. I saw far too many SA2000 helmets. I also had 3 people with brand new M rated helmets and 2 of them were drilled for Hans type devices!!!. One guy told me his came that way from the retailer. I have no idea why anyone would sell a M rated helmet predrilled for Hans type devices but there you go Caveat emptor!
By the way if you were not aware, the reason for the SA helmet requirement as opposed to M, is the SA has a fire resistant lining.
