Q:What are the differences between the Snell SA, M and K standards?

A: The SA standard was designed for competitive auto racing while the M standard was for motorcycling and other motorsports. The K standard was released to accommodate helmets used in karting.

There are three major differences between them:

1 The SA standard requires flammability test while the M and K standards do not.

2 The SA and K standards allow for a narrower visual field than the M standard(Some SA and K certified helmets may not be street legal).

3 The SA and K standards include a rollbar multi-impact test while the M standard does not.

Q: How long is the warranty on a helmet?

A: RODIA extends one-year warranty to the purchaser of RODIA helmets that the helmet is free of defects in materials and workmanship.

Q: How long can a helmet last?

A: RODIA Helmets are constructed with the best materials available to offer you a long lasting product. However, due to the fact that helmets are used in a wide variety of conditions, it is impossible to specify an exact product life span. Due to UV damage, adhesive and component aging, and other, RODIA recommends changing a helmet every 3 to 5 years.
