Found Some New Helmets

[MRMidget]

Just thought I best elt all you gassers know that ive just seen the lovely ppl at GPR and they have got in snell approved helmets to SA2005 from America, called Zamp, i know the name sounds a bit iffy but they have taken bits from Bell and Arai to make what is a really nice helmet, they only have some sample stock in at the minute so the sales man said but they will be ordering more from the states if there is demand
im sure there will be as they are £120 + vat which for a snell helmet is a bargain, even some of the old british standard blue label helmets cost more than that and they arent tecnically as safe as a Snell SA approved helmet.
the next snell approved helmet on offer is over double the price so it really is a bargain.
i know this sounds just like an advert for gpr but it really isnt this is too help all the brilliant racers out there in times of recession and with new regs next year coming in on helmets!!!!

On that note, I currently wear a Bell helmet which is Snell SA2000 - one presumes that this standard will be phased out at the end of the year in favour of an SA2010 but has anyone seen this published for definite in Motorsports Now! or the like?

Nothing about SA2000 in the last copy of Motorsport Now!...I'd be inclined to wait until the 2010 Blue Book.

I'm helmet shopping at the moment too, but will be looking to buy a SA2005 one, most probably a V2 Sport if they get some stock in soon.

It says in the 2009 blue book Snell SA2000 may be withdrawn from 01/01/10, whereas it says BS6658-85 type will be withdrawn from 01/01/10.

I have been using a V2 helmet all of this season and it's as good as any other helmet that I have used, and many have been more expensive.
