I have been reading about the new changes coming into effect over the next year or so. My children both ride so I try and buy really good helmets and pass them down. However, I'm really confused about what will be accepted by clubs.
The Pony Club's statement on the changes:
The Pony Club will permit (BS)EN1384 hats in 2015 but not thereafter. Full details of the revised Hat Tagging procedure will be communicated out to the Membership and Volunteers shortly.
My son't HS1 is
SNELL E2001
PAS015
BSEN1384
And we are looking at the CO Pro II which says it comes with these marks
BSEN1384,
PAS015: 2011,
ASTM F1163
I see that BSEN1384 will no longer be accepted after 2015 but that PAS isn't enough on it's own. So will these 2 helmets still be accepted by the pony club because they have 2 other safety marks in addition the BSEN1384? Or will the BSEN1384 mark on the helmet mean it's not accepted at all?
I need to buy a helmet for my daughter very soon and I'm sure with her just being 6, I'll be buying another before the end of the year anyway....but just in case, trying to be financially practical about it.
Thanks x
