I'm pretty sure the Snell rating is good for 15 years, i.e. currently a Snell 90 is still acceptable...
As far as a "cheap" helmet, I've always lived by the credo that they're for a cheap head... Isn't your noggin worth a few extra $$$ to keep it in one piece?

I've heard this too. I was told "If you've got a $10 head, get a $10 helmet"....lol.
I would think the snell rating indicates the level of safety. Price isn't the issue. I'm curious as to which helmet is the cheapest that will meet tech rules.

Helmet must be at least a Snell 90 or above. They are good for 15 years, and the most current in 2000. They'll release the 2005 towards the end of the 2005 year usually...
