Toads can you confirm? I think the site says it's not manufacture date they care about .Wow check out this bargain! Found my new helmetjust called Helmet House on Albany Hwy 9362 1758 and the girl never heard of the 2006 extension...she's checking details and calling me back.ok she said it's such a new standard they barely have any and the only helmets they have are $300+But further info is that it's a blue australian standards sticker not the normal red and silver one...edit edit editGo Gear reckon they have them, full face $150http://www.gogear.com.au/products/helmetshttp://www.gogear.com.au/products/helmets-neck-restraints/rxt-full-face-helmet/ Edited 16/10/13 05:04 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such standard as AS/NZS1698 without “:2006”. I would suggest you ask the shops again, as they colloquially drop the “:2006” when referring to the AS/NZS1698. It is the AS/NZS1698:2006 standard which is now accepted as the minimum standard by the WA Roads and the governing body of drag racing, ANDRA.Even their rules and regulation on helmets show an example sticker that only has "AS/NZS1698" on it without the ":2006"http://www.motorplex.com.au/media/docs/andra_helmet_selection_guide_b.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
