Grumpy, in my first posting I stated a bit of erroneous info. The old M2005 shock load limit for a size XL helmet was actually 2% LOWER than the newer M2010/2015/2020 standards. Prior to M2010, all SNELL headform sizes had the same mass, 5Kg. That wasn't very logical, so subsequent Snell standards used headform weights nominally consistent with UN ECE 22.05 and DOT practices. Thus, the older shock load limit (290G) applied to a 5kg mass, but the new lower (264G) shock load applies to a 5.6-kg mass. So, the force of the older shock load limit is actually a bit lower than the newer standards.
I knocked, but the door was open.......
