Default Helmet for Nationals
I have read the sup regs on the NSW Cobra site and it just says "An approved helmet must be worn for all events".
What makes a helmet approved?
I have spoken to these guys http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-RJAYS-RAZ...QQcmdZViewItem
And there helmet is AS1695, DOT and SNELL approved, when I questioned "is it SNELL2005 approved" the lady said it had a date stamp of March 2008, So I do not know if that answers my question?
Another competitor has offered to loan me one of his spare helmets, but I would hate to get there Thursday night only to find my melon is too big.
I know it is a cheap helmet and I only have one head, but I wont have much spare cash before the Nationals, and above all hope that the loan helmet is big enough to fit my melon, just fearful of getting there and finding I dont have a helmet that fits.

So does this helmet meet approval?
