Have you looked at Jegs? It shows ship date would be January 5th 2017 if ordered today. That's a white large 1320. I did see that they have a longer lead time. RJS are in stock thru Jegs.

My Impact full face expires this year so I have been doing some research on helmets. I think spending money on the safety item that makes you function on a daily basis is worth a few hundred dollars.

I would really like the impact but cant wait another season, the rjs wed site says they are made at the same factory as bell. I wanted a bell helmet because they are local to me, but I have seen that they are made offshore. so I don't really know which way to go. If I can confirm the rjs is us made, I will go that route.

I hate to have to ask this, but I have no rule book to look at. How long can we use an SA2010 helmet?
Thanks.

I realize many manufacturers that used to post contingency payouts have stopped this practice, BUT.... this year with the 2005 helmets expiring, it would be "perfect timing" to post early (now-before Christmas) that they are paying contingency in 2017..... seems like a no-brainer!

I buy Simpson Helmets and have been very pleased. I am not sure about contingency but they are one of the last companies to still be on the Manufacture Midway and support racers. Good people to deal with.
