I agree completely, I didn't notice that the article wasn't dated, it was originally published in the June 2005 magazine. And because the helmet manufacturers are always coming out with new lids to meet new specs, is the reason I'd like to see a label showing test results, or at least a pamphlet in the box with new helmets showing the results.
