Mr. Vicegrip:
There are some changes to the SA2015:

SA2015 Helmets must be equipped with M6 terminals built into the shell for attaching HANS, Simpson Hybrid etc anchors.

SA2015 helmets were also engineered to improve protection in low velocity impacts.

Those are the big changes I know of. Also I have heard that other manufacturers are going to offer cupped ear pieces like Stilo has with their helmets.

Dr. K: I sold you that helmet in 2008 at Hershey so technically you've only worn for 7 years.

Aaarrrrggghhhh! Caught in a lie (well, poor memory). But 2008-2015 (start of season to end) is actually 8 years--still not 10 but I'm pretty happy with 8 many-track-day years.

Oh that'll be a great addition. My G-Force helmet (SA2005) came with the terminals for that old G-Force H&N device they sold those many years ago. Been wondering how long it'll take for HANS to become the standard.

Just picked up a Bell Sport EV SA2015 - and transferring over the HANS anchors was a snap with the included M6 inserts.

Thanks OG and PCA Potomac for the gift certificate!
