I just got a G Force Nova open face. SA2020, super light for not being CF. Lighter than many CF helmets actually. $260.

I use the open face for autocross. I have a full face CF SA2010 G Force for other things. Not sure why anyone would make fun of you for an open face helmet though.

I have been using G-force open faces for years and I only drag race

Also have a larger head and the G-force GF1 XXL fits me like a glove

Going to keep using my Sa2015 since it's still NHRA track acceptable for like 5 more years

I just picked up a carbon fiber Bell helmet SA2015 as the SA2020 was not worth the extra $$$. I most likely change helmets in 4 years anyways.

I tried the stilos and it was just not comfortable for me like the Bell. I wish it's was because the visor was so smooth and quality was amazing.

Aren't the SA2015 helmets outdated?

The SA2015 standard will still be current for most racing organizations. Snell recommends that SA15-approved helmets in good condition should still be accepted (at least until the end of their recommended 5-year lifespan). We should note that most club racing sanctioning bodies and track day companies allow for Snell ratings to last 10 years; SA2015 helmets will be good until at least 2025 (which we explain further down).



How long will an SA2015 helmet be good for?

Unfortunately, most racing organizations have not announced their changeover plans yet, so it is impossible to give a solid answer. Right now, we can only point to history and precedent.

In previous years, SCCA has accepted the current SA standard plus the previous standard (for 2019, that means SA15 and SA10). In the past, the rule has usually been updated to take effect after helmets with the newest standard have been available for one full year. For example, for the SA15

changeover, SA05 helmets were accepted until the beginning of 2017 (SA15 helmets went on sale in October 2015). If the SA20 and SA25 changeovers follow the same schedule, SA10 helmets would be accepted through 2021 and SA15 helmets should be accepted until the end of 2026.


Snell SA2020 vs. SA2015


SA2020 is very much an incremental change from SA2015. The primary aim was to bring the impact testing even more in line with FIA 8859-2015 requirements. All criteria will now be the same as or more stringent than FIA requirements. Note that Snell SA2020 certification does not automatically grant FIA homologation! A helmet which passes Snell SA2020 tests will theoretically pass FIA tests, but the helmet manufacturer must submit the helmet to the FIA in order to receive FIA homologation.



If I already have an SA2015 helmet, how long can I keep using it?


Even the best materials degrade over time, and the high-performance, lightweight materials in your helmet are no exception. Sunlight, ozone, perspiration, and even everyday bumps and knocks all take their toll on the shell and the inner liner. Snell recommends helmet replacement after 5 years of use, or immediately after any incident. Remember, the consequences of auto racing incidents can be violent and permanent. Only use safety equipment that is in top condition. When in doubt, replace it.

Both. My full face is a 2015 in size XXXL. The Open Face is 2020 and Size XXL. The 2XL isn't that comfortable but I only use it when helping people at the autocross. I prefer to use the full face when I drive.

Arai GP-J3. I have a 2015 that is now my wife’s and I got a new one.

It’s awesome, works with my HANS device and is low profile enough to work in my Camaro with my 6’4” frame.

And yes, it’s open-face. ��
