Default Helmets

Looking to purchase a Simpson Bandit helmet. Anyone know if they will approve this lid at Calder Park and Heathcote?

Any helmet that meets AS1698 or better is acceptable.

I'd highly recommend Stilo if your open to other options.

Little bit more expensive but i picked up my ST5 on sale and saved nearly $500 on a $1300 helmet so it was an easy choice.

The full face Simpsons meet sa2005 or sa2010 or now sa2015.
You can run any class with a helmet meeting one of these.
Careful you don't buy the sa 2005, these expire at the end of this year.
