Simpson Helmets

[gp350se]

Hi Folks

I have a simpson bandit helmet that was bought in the USA and it has'nt any of the regulation stickers or badges on it. Can it be used in Hillclimb and spint championships. Can you get them checked and passed by a scrutineer.Is it only british simpson helmets that have the relevent stickers.

Have a rummage around, and inside the headlining - it is often dicreetly marked there

The only badge is on the strap E11 and 050025/p-000018 and i havn't a clue what that means. I have an AGV and that has all the badges in stitched in the lining.

Nope not on strap   as Stu noted try lifting the lining especially at the back of your head     it needs the snell approval sticker etc      

The latest helmets don't have a clear visible sticker   honest check under lining  

If it ain't got snell, BS etc then there's not much chance of a UK scruter passing it

Yep. My UK bandit has a Snell on the inside of the shell under the lining.

dont seem to be able to find anything. I shouldn't have to unstick the lining to find it should i.If its no good it'll had to be a track day hat.

just about pulled the thing to bits this US spec helmet  can't have one.

if it is a recent genuine bandit ,and you are sure it is a "bandit" then it will be a snell M2005 rated helmet which is a US motorcycle spec  , motorsport requires snell  SA2000 or SA2005 being the most current.

the bandit isn't a motorsport lid in current us production.

Thanks for all your help chaps

It looks like its going to be a trackday hat. Its a brand new genuine Simpson lid with 2 visors glear and Iridium and it cost £75 so i think it was still a good buy I'll just have to use my AGV for hill climbing.

There is a very cheap Sparco tk helmet on ebay at the moment.
