If you have or would like to purchase a Charles Owen Race II the lable must read with the following ASTM F1163-23 & PAS015:2011.
The PPORA have worked with Charles Owen to create a helmet safety awareness video to remind riders that despite being up to standard it is important you regularly replace your helmet. We have secured an offer for PPORA members for the Charles Owen Race II which can be ordered directly with the PPORA using the form and instructions in the Members Zone.
This offer is NOT redeemable in stores or by retailers but is a direct initiative with the PPORA.
