As long as the helmet has one of the certifications listed in Rule 9.1 then

it is "legal" according to OBRA rules. I believe that it is not actually

legal to sell bike helmets in the US that do not have CPSC certification,

although I have seen non-certified helmets for sale in shops.



Whether you will get DQ'd depends on whether the official has a sharp enough

eye to recognize that the helmet is one that might not be certified. No

offense intended for our hard working officials but I think most don't pay

much attention to this.



If you have seen riders with head fairings at TTs then congratulations for

having a sharper eye than the official at that event.

Hey OBRA land

I know the rules on helmets, but if some one had one of the new Giro or

Bell Euro time trial helmets would you be DQ'ed for using one?

I have seen people at TT using the old head fairings
