Are GPA Helmets Ever Coming Back to the States?

GPA helmets fit me PERFECTLY - unfortunately my GPA Little Lady had a crash over the summer and needed to replace. I was told my retailers that GPA should be available again in the U.S. this winter but I haven’t seen anything yet. I know I can buy overseas but they don’t have the ASTM SEI safety standard - they only mark them as VG1 or ASTM. Any insight??

FYI - USEF changed the helmet rules last year and you no longer need ASTM if it has an equivalent safety certification.

Specific standards (including VG1) - https://www.usef.org/forms-pubs/wGqEFLaPc60/list-of-applicable-international
