Looking at buying a helmet and and apparently the date code has worn off
...not sure how that happens and that *may* answer my question on age (apparently code wasn't etched onto the d-ring on this model / year).
If I were able to call in the SNELL serial # and confirm the date of manufacture, would I still be able to get through tech? Would Arai provide some letter stating the date that I could take into tech?
Hate to pass it up b/c it's an Arai and it's super cheap (because it's got a couple of scratches and guess the owner doesn't know there are people in the racing community that aren't out there to be in shiny new gear).
Obviously will check the foam to make sure it's not compressed and probably replace the liner....
