The bogus 'certification' is located on a small decal at the outside, bottom, rear of the helmet. These helmets are not certified for use in KartSport competition.

To be sure a helmet is approved for use at KartSport sanctioned events, look for a Snell or SFI sticker inside of the helmet. It will be attached to the inside of the shell under the lining. Sometimes the stickers are difficult to locate, and locating it may require dislocating the lining, but if the helmet is Snell or SFI certified, it will be there. No sticker NO racing.

Confirmation of acceptable U.S.A. helmets are as follows:-

Snell K98, M2000, SA2000, M2005, SA2005, K2005.
Snell child's helmet CMS2007, CMR2007.
SFI 31.1A
SFI 31.2A

Note: Helmets with any Snell certification older than 2000 are no longer legal.

Please be diligent in your checking for these counterfeit items.
