I think I was still half asleep when I got up this morning :oops:

The helmet is Snell SA2010 approved but the FIA 8858 standard relates to it's HANS Fittings.

The BF1-790 is the same helmet produced by BSR.  I looked into this and the FIA/SNELL approvals.  I handled the Hed-Tec supplied one at a recent track day and it seemed well-built, light, and is approved.

 

I didn't try it on, though, and as the advice above suggests, you really should.

 

The price is around £400 from suppliers, so you could try one out before you buy, depending on who is nearest to you.
