Helmets: Full face, motorsport racing recommened but not mandatory. Visor will have no "vision impairing" scratches, and secured to helmet to manufacturers standard. Straps must pass the "pull" test, buckled/unbuckled. Helmets will have NO deep scratches or cracks. DOT, Snell or Australian Standards rated.

Gloves: As per the rulebook, with no holes. Holes in fingertips must be either coverd with leather or several layers of 100mph tape over the top of some stitching(basic loops)

Shoes: Lace up or similar. slipons won't be passed. No holes in soles or shoe itself.

Leathers: All seams stitched. (a split seam must have basic loop stitches and can be 100mph taped, but stitching will need to be seen before taping). All zips must work, and the zip flaps must be totally stitched, no holes. Holes in the body of the leathers must be repaired to a satisfactory level, ie, a tear must be securely stitched and a hole must be patched/covered with leather and stitched around the whole of the circumfrance of the patch.

I'd still go to the site, guys, have a look and read the Rulebook.

Premium Member Comment by Trav on February 10, 2011 at 14:31: the IGSA rulebook won't help you as it doesn't cover condition of leathers or equipment. Probably a good idea to list the details for the newcomers coming to race.
