any changes to gear requirements for 2020?

[dtrides]

I need to replace all my gear after a track day get off and want to check in on the latest requirements before I purchase.
I know the basics of current standards (2019) but would hate to buy a new helmet only to find it no longer met requirements due to a rule change.
Thanks! DT

Snell M2015+ rating for helmets I think. Tech at Round 7 told me my Snell 2010 rated helmet would need to be replaced for next year.

I noticed some of the companies are no longer getting Snell rated, only DOT and ECE .
Can anyone chime in on this angel?

7.2.6 Helmets certified by the Snell Memorial Foundation and bearing 2010 (or newer) approval stickers; or have the British Standards Institute approval sticker BSI 6658-A, or have EU approval sticker ECE 22-05. All helmets must be full coverage (no open-faced or flip- up helmets). Helmets, in the judgment of the Tech Inspector, must be in sound condition, including shell, liner and strap.

Here is the text from the 2019 rule book. Not sure what will change with BSI or ECE ratings.

As Nick has posted with Snell rating moving to 2015 approval stickers.

Is there a BSI or ECE equivalent? How does their annual rating system work so tech knows if a helmet is too old?

Duncan, we've also just received limited 50% off coupons from Bell helmets, if that will help put you in a helmet brand that gives the club great support.

Hell yeah Duncan!

For now, Gravisman, PM me. We'll probably put out a first come/ first serve email to the club soon. We'd love for everyone that wants a new helmet to support Bell who supports us!
