True, true.
Anyway, there's no way the Daisy Helmet, blast it, is Snell approved. I
can't find any indication, besides the decal on the back, that it is. There
is a cloth cert label inside, but nowhere does it say Snell approved, only
on the decal in the back, which doesn't quite cut it, apparently. My
question is, why would they put that on a helmet that ISN'T improved? This
is a well known manufacture and reseller.
I can't tell you how disappointed I am, mostly in myself for not even
thinking to look at the helmet more closely at Bell Motorsports. I just went
in and said I needed an autocross helmet and that's what they sold me.
Didn't even occur to me to measure, I mean it didn't even occur to me to
look for the label.
Anyway, thanks, Kevin, for not waiting 'til Nationals to protest my helmet.
:) You've just saved me a lot of grief.
