Answer:
1. The Bell Crew Pro Moto helmet is not SA rated, nor M rated. In general, crew helmets are rarely rated due to the fact that the wearer does not need the added protection of those ratings. Also, as a result, crew helmets are much less expensive than M/SA rated helmets. M2005 rated helmets will be the next step up without reaching fire-retardancy. SA2005 rated helmets are the top-of-the-line and are fire-retardant. If you are looking for a Bell SA rated helmet, I suggest you take a look at the following link:
If the Bell SA helmets are a bit pricey for you, take a look at the following link for G-Force SA2005 rated helmets:
2. Nomex is a flame-resistant material fibrously applied in motorsport products. Carbon-X on the other hand, is a flame-retardant material, also fibrously applied. Carbon-X is a superior material to Nomex and thus more desirable to specific racers with higher performance demands. Most amateur racers will be fine with Nomex, but many choose Carbon-X for it's higher performance. Check out the link below for more info from Carbon-X's website:
I hope this answers your questions! Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!
