I went to "winding road" and they have a couple helmets with SA2015 certification on sale.
I was looking for an inexpensive full face beginners lid... They have a G-Force model GF 3 at $250.
Free shipping, no tax.
Taking a chance this works.
Please, no push back on what company makes a better one.
If its not up to my expectation I will return it - fit, quality, etc.
For two track days a year I likely don't need the gold standard.

As long as it fits right and meets the spec the track requires then your good.
In my mind, the problem arises when someone buys a cheap one because of money even though it doesn't fit quite right.
