RE: Helmet Stuff

The slightly extra weight of non-kevlar will not affect yanking your neck
off as long as you also use a neck collar / helmet support, considered
mandatory.

A tip, depending on your needs (ex: CCA), I prefer to buy a previous year
certification (90) at sometimes less than half the price of a current one
(95), and after getting it smelly stinky replace it new in 5 years with the
next cert. rather than keeping a (95) longer.
