I'll probably regret this but here you go.

This is the only link I could find on Google that is still active, I'm not sure why it is from UA. I cant link the jacket, It's to old now.
Before the flaming starts about this brand being made in China you should research where helmets are made. Almost all the brand name helmets are made there now, Even Bell. I should have asked the seller before I bought it where it was made, That would have been a determining factor in my purchase. After all the bickering here about helmets I did research them and the only ones I could find that are made in the U.S are Simpson and Impact. Pull the liner back on your helmet and tell me what you see, Styrofoam right? Can you honestly tell me there is a difference between the helmets? Can you tell me that Simpson doesn't use styrofoam made in the same place as the other manufacturers. Can you tell me that a Simpson helmet will save me when the one I have wont? We all take a risk doing this hobby, I feel safe with my decision.
I'm not going to argue that the SA stuff is not safer. Can anyone tell me that a M rated one isn't safe enough? That seems to be the position here. How many thousands of racers and motorcylist are using M rated helmets? Ken lived thru his horrible crash with a M rated helmet, If he had a SA rated helmet it may have saved his jaw but there also might have been enough force from the steering column hitting his helmet to cause a spinal injury instead. Maybe he was lucky he wasn't wearing a helmet with more chin protection. It's a tough call, Every crash is different and you guy's should be more concerned with how the barriers are constructed than with what brand of helmet a person is using. Blunt force trauma is the killer here after all.
