However, shoe covers are permitted in any conditions."
This would be how this rule COULD be interpreted to make them illegal. As the CPSC certified the helmet in it's manufactured state, thus the addition of cardboard or what have you, could be deemed a safety risk and make the helmet non compliant. This is the same reason why it is "illegal" to glue a helmet back together after a crash... its certification is now null and void and thus illegal.
Also note that the helmet is considered part of the uniform.
Thoughts?
Isnt there a rule on attached wind fairings?
