Helmet Date Code

[qwiksilver119]

I have a helmet that has a date code of 6/04. I know that we can't use helmets that are more than 5 years old. Does this mean that I have to replace it in June, or will it be okay for the whole season? Thanks.

You should be fine. You're helmet is "legal" when the season started, and will expire during the season. Therefore you can run it.

You'll need a shiney new bucket for next season however!

Well, he's back to level since he didn't bring me his transponder at the school to figure out what his ID is. However, I have to say it's a very encouraging trend.

Munch... I'll be at Pueblo sometime late morning/late afternoon on Friday. Please make sure you see me before heading out on the track Saturday morning with the transponder in question. It will need to be entered into the database. Thanks.

I actually did bring it, but with the cold weather, didn't get up early enough to mount it that morning

Next time!!

So... if your date on your helmet is rubbed off (sharks have year marks in back near neck... wear NO ONE seems to have sweated during their testing phase :? )... yet it was bought new at TK in 05/07, do I need to research for a receipt?

Receipts won't help show date of manufacture, tho...eh?

ooh.. I found a replacement lid. Will this one pass tech if I can find a place for my #'s?

FYI No one cares when you bought it... Ive seen helmets new on a shelf at a dealer from 2/04.... If you buy one online: I HIGHLY suggest you ask them the date code 1st... Many good deals out there are cause its old....

My RSR2 has another label under the liner, on the inside of the shell. Its just above where your right ear would be. Remove the cheek pad, and pull the liner back, and hopefully you'll see it.
