New DOT-Compliant Impact SXS Helmet

Starting January 1^st 2013 a new helmet law goes into effect in California for all UTVs and side-by-sides.  As part of Bill No. 1595, the law was passed last July and states “A person shall not operate, or allow a passenger in, a recreational off-highway vehicle unless the person and the passenger are wearing safety helmets meeting the requirements established for motorcycles.”  This law applies to dunes, trails, and anywhere UTVs are used. 

Whether you live in California or not, Impact by MasterCraft Safety has you covered for all of your safety needs.  Their latest offering is the SXS Helmet, which was designed specifically for side-by-sides.  The SXS Helmet is DOT-compliant and made in the USA.  The composite construction is lighter than the competition and it is packed with features including numerous ventilation openings, an adjustable visor, and the ability to be wired for an intercom system.

The SXS Helmet from Impact is affordably priced at $299 and is available in sizes ranging from XS to XL in white, silver, gloss black, or flat black.

Impact by MasterCraft Safety offers a full complement of industry leading safety equipment, from SNELL 2010 certified helmets to fire-resistant driving suits and Nomex underwear.  Founded by safety pioneer Bill Simpson in 2002, Impact moved under the MasterCraft Safety banner in 2010.  Impact’s line of helmets, driving and crew suits, drag parachutes, window nets, and race restraints are all made in the United States in their manufacturing facility strategically located in the heart of Gasoline Alley in Indiana, just ten minutes from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Based in Santee, California, MasterCraft Safety is the leading manufacturer of driving suits, window nets, and innovative energy attenuating safety seating and restraint systems custom tailored to endure the most extreme environmental conditions and off-road terrain.  In addition to three decades of real world testing in the most extreme racing conditions, independent tests by nationally recognized laboratories indicate the MasterCraft Safety energy attenuating seat directly resulted in an 84% reduction of energy in a 55 “G” load event.  Additional testing in the +Z axis has resulted in impressive Dynamic Response Index data of 13.7 in a (nominal) 350G impact. These qualities and craftsmanship make MasterCraft seats the leading choice for environments where safety can mean the difference between life and death, from desert racing to hostile territory overseas.
