GB:Pyrotect Helmet Group Buy!

[sureshot007]

Just in time for the upcoming season!

http://www.pyrotect.com/home.php?cat=14

I am in the process of trying to set up a group buy with Pyrotect for some helmets. I am not sure of the pricing just yet - I should know by the end of the week and I will update this when I get it. They are good quality helmets at an affordable price. So if you are interested, let me know and I’ll see if I can get the model you want, and what price it would be.

I might be interested in a Sportsman M Open Face sized XL, depending on the price you can pick up.

OT: Is a full face motorcycle helmet acceptable for road racing and auto-x?

/noob Q

[sureshot007]

EDIT:

@National Solo Rules 2009 Edition Section 4.3.1

Helmets meeting the following standards must be worn while on
course: All helmets meeting the current or two immediately preceding
Snell Foundation standards (SA, K, or M), or SFI standards
31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, or 41.2A are acceptable. Helmets meeting
British spec BS6658-85 type A/FR are also acceptable.

For maximum protection, helmets must fit securely and should
provide adequate peripheral vision. The chin strap must be
securely fastened. Loaner helmets should be available to vehicle
occupants not having their own.

Ok thanks for the info. Being that my helmet is snell and DOT approved I am assuming it would be ok then?

[sureshot007]

Yes.

[system]

Thanks, GL with the group buy.

@sureshot007

no - for autox it must be Snell 2000 or higher. Just M or DOT is not acceptable. That’s generally the case for being inside a vehicle. It’s my understanding (correct me if I’m wrong) that the Snell rating has a fire retardent material in it, where as the bike helmets done (it’s hard to get caught in a burning motorcycle).

The snell rating is just a safety standard what you are referring to is the SA or M classification. SA refers to special applications and is lined with nomex. M is motorcycle and has no fireproof lining.

Thank you sir!

Could you please consult the rule book before making postings like this:

This means you can wear a motorcycle helmet M1995, M2000 and M2005, a go kart helmet K1995, K2000 or K2005 (although I don’t think the K rating is that old). Solo is not just limited to SA helmets.

Changed my previous post to remove stupidity and add actual information.

SA2005 Snell Series Open Face $130

^ I have that one and really like it. Got it in white so it doesn’t turn into a head oven when it accidentally gets left in the sun.

[Minglor]

Hell, I missed this thread.

I’ll be hitting you up for Sportsman M2005 Snell/DOT Full Face in flat soon.

[sureshot007]

Great price on these bad boys!

Ok, I’m placing the order. If you want one, you better pm me or email me by the end of the day (please do so even if you think I already know about your order).

How do we place an order and sizing. I’m interested in a open face SA2005 in flat black, likely a small, maybe a medium.
