Helmet Standards Needed For Track Use

Postby Sideros » Tue Apr 22, 2008 7:43 pm

Looking to buy a New Helmet as my current one has no standard raiting sticker thing. What standard do I need to be on the lookout for for use on Trackdays etc? Is European Standard E1 & ECE22.05 suitable here? Cheers.

Take photo of label inside helmet, usually cloth tag on chin strap.

It won't be an E1, look for the serial # starting probably 05.

If you have a sticker on the back of the helmet only, throw helmet in the bin, you've got fake standards labelling (from all I have seen)
