If this is a 1986 Standard suit then the current Blue Book states that this is not acceptable for International use with effect from 1 January 2005. (See page 242 Q.9 - Overalls). From this I would suspect that you are OK for hillclimbing. However, if you are in any doubt, contact a member of the technical commission or a friendly local scrutineer who should be able to advise you.

Hope this helps.

I would hold fire on buying anything until you see the 05 regs.

I haven't seen any changes to the regs yet (other than those contained in this year's Blue Book) but Sam's advice is correct - wait until you see the new ones.

Ring up The MSA is the easiest solution and ask them to translate into English
