Default Helmet for the Auto X

I have a helmet question. I have a helmet that I used riding my cruiser. The only label I can find is one that says:

Month and Year:
S.I. Sept 2001

Is this not going to meet the standards for the Auto X?

thanx,

scho

You need to look for a SNELL sticker. Either SA rated (car helmet) or M rated (motorcycle helmet).

Try looking under the liner for a Snell sticker that says M2000,

or if you know the model number....check this out

Snell Foundation

Look for the link "certified Helmets"

Found it! The sticker was dark with dark lettering, couldn't see it under the liner without a flash light. It is M2000!! Auto X, here I come!

I believe my helmet is a M95 (motorcycle) full face helmet. Will that work?

I think it has to be manufactured in the last 10 years....look for the manufacture date.

Hmmm, time to look into forging an M2000 decal. Oh wait... I didn't say that.b
