your helmet is snell 2015, is it good thur the year 2020 or until 2020?

A Snell 2015 is good through the 2026 season. Unless something just recently changed.

Good through 2026

Yes there good for 10 yrs the Snell 2005 was good through the 2016 season, so 17,18,19, 20,21,22,23,24 25,26, gives the 10 yrs, I think the reason it's that way when they started it they gave an xtra year heads up.

Most track around here had it wrong going in to 2015 season and it was cleared up.
Snell puts out a new rating every 5 yrs though.

That snell BS is the greatest marketing scheme ever created. Helmets just keep getting more foam and bigger and heavier otherwise how could they protect more. What's next air bags on the OD. Should just be allowed to use a DOT helmet.

If my kids head is going into then I want the best protection possible. I'm more than happy to buy a Smell helmet and save a few bucks elsewhere in our program...

It gets confused because Snell updates ever 5 yrs, and started on an even decade.

There's a comment on this thread that I wish I could post a Billy Madison clip to.

I recently went for a new lid with the Snell 2015 cert and also got from various sources it was good till 2026

Ironically, the first time I ever heard this quote (only it was $20) was from a guy who, it turned out, was selling counterfeit Simpson helmets.
