We still have not been informed by the ARB about when they will introduce their new standard for helmets in Australia, the ARB HS 2012.
So as a result, we have decided to get on the front foot and put an offer to anyone wanting to purchase an existing standard helmet. As has been highlighted previously in our newsletter, when the ARB enforce a date of compliance for their new standard helmet, jockeys will be given 6 months and track riders 12 months to comply with this new standard.
So if anyone purchases an existing standard helmet between October 1 and the date when the ARB release their ARB HS 2012 compliance date, we will give you $100 credit towards the purchase price of any helmet that meets the ARB HS 2012 standard.
We understand your frustration of not wanting to commit to an existing standard helmet, especially if it may soon be non-compliant. We also understand your older helmet may have expired while you await the release date of the new standard. So don’t delay your helmet decision any longer, commit to an existing standard helmet now and benefit from a $100 credit towards the purchase of a new standard helmet when they are released.
