It better be, since that is the most current Snell standard.

Most places will accept Snell 95 as well as Snell 2000.

If you are looking for a place in Illinois where you buy car helmets (and try them on in person), there's one in Streamwood and another in Barrington...

Also needs to be "SA" type for use in cars) and not "M" (for motorcycles).

 

is this helmet approved?

That might be acceptabe but it doesn't say it's SA, esp. since it has a nylon lining (which would be Nomex in an SA helmet). Even still I'd think it should be OK.
