I bought a full faced SA 95 helmet from OMP that was a closeout. Why a SA95? Because most sanctioning car events give a 5 year period of time until a new helmet is in effect, thus 2000 helmets will be mandated in 2005. It would be quite unfair to require everyone that is active in these events to scrap their 2 years old $500 helmet. Another point is that helmets do not last forever. After about 2 to 3 years of use and sweating the helmet is ready for replacement. At that time the only choice would be a SA 2000, (unless 2005 helmets are available

)
