Impacts made in US I believe. Maybe some Simpsons as well.
No China stuff.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I had to buy one this year as well. For years my car was slow enough that an open faced helmet was OK, did not mind wearing a helmet. When the car picked up and had to get a full face helmet, I hate it in hot weather, because I wear glasses and I sweat too much, fogs my glasses. I had a Bell helmet, it fit really nice, I could get my glasses slid in with out too much trouble. I bought a G-Force, because of the vents, removable liner, so it is easy to clean, and the price. If it is going to be obsolete in a few years, sorry, but I am not going to buy a super expensive one. Just like seat belts, why spend money for really nice belts when they are obsolete way before they are worn out? Yes I understand the value of my life, but the reality is the cheap stuff still has to pass specifications, and I think it will still protect me.

Understand, helmet size limits your helmet choices.
And a neck restraint option is a must for me.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Is this really true? Snell 2010 Not doubting you but this would be great news if I can go another year.

The new IHRA rule book says SNELL SA2010, so does the NHRA book...Last season I was told it was the last year for the 2010's, looks like next year now
