Ms are good for beginners, don't disagree there, especially for $100 or so. Hell, I ran an M until I had to upgrade to SA. But a head's up that just because it's Snell that doesn't mean it's automatically SA. |
Whoa... you're right!
Wasn't their fault, it was mine. Most everything I was looking at was SA2010, this one said Snell 2010, DOT approved. I didn't make the connection. (insert face palm)
What's the real difference? Is it for roll-bar impact, or something like that?
It's still a great helmet, and I was planning on upgrading to a lighter Bell one if I start tracking a lot more. I may upgrade a little sooner now.
