Draco I'm not picking on you with this ,but all snell helmets aren't rated the same.


This is copied from the Grassroots Racing website.

"Here's the difference according to Snell themselves.
What are the differences between the SA, M and K standards?
The SA standard was designed for competitive auto racing while the M standard was for motorcycling and other motorsports. The K standard was released to accommodate helmets used in karting. There are three major differences between them:

The SA standard requires flammability test while the M and K standards do not.
The SA and K standards allow for a narrower visual field than the M standard (Some SA and K certified helmets may not be street legal).
The SA and K standards include a rollbar multi-impact test while the M standard does not. "

My car isn't fast enough to require wearing a helmet. But when I take the Gsxr to the track or just riding in General . Bell Star Carbon. $700 in 2013 when I picked it up.
