Helmets that could pass LRRS Tech

[jcbell1007]

So I had a conversation with a couple of people after this race weekend about why Tech doesn't put out a list of approved models from different manufacturers. I figured they can't because they don't want to push anyone towards a specific helmet so I figured I would start a generic list, of helmets that should pass tech. This is just my observations as a rookie and maybe to help some others out. To quote the rule book:

4.0 RIDER EQUIPMENT AND APPAREL:
HELMETS: Helmets must be full coverage with an attached face shield. Tearoff's
are not allowed. Quick release helmet straps are also not allowed unless
original equipment. The helmet must meet DOT plus Snell M2005 and
M2010(USA) approval or the British Blue Label standard BSI 6658 Type A
helmet standard or the European ECE22-04 & ECE22-05 P standard. The
appropriate stickers must be attached. Any helmet that has been damaged or
suffered a severe impact must be replaced or sent to the manufacturer to be
inspected. All helmets must pass tech inspection. The riders number must be
displayed on the helmet.
Helmets may not be more than 5 years old as determined by the date of
manufacture in or on the helmet. Polycarbonate helmets are not allowed.

Important eye opener for me was the first weekend when I brought in my Shoei, that was purchased in 2008, and found that it was manufactured in 11/05. Learning point for me was that its not when you purchased your helmet, its when it was made that counts.

So, here are a couple of models, in alphabetical order, and by no means in any preferential order. Feel free to copy and past to update the list and keep it going. All the ones I listed are of Fiberglass/kevlar/aramid/carbon fiber (laminate) construction and are at least Snell 2005. Again this list is only a starting point. do your own research and find what fits your head right.
