Helmet Help

I found this site while looking for helmets the other day and yes it is NOT a U.S. site but the standards are quite good if not better than SNELL.

I thought this might help for those looking for a helmet based on safety (see here for Video http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/resources/video/SHARP.wmv )

Re: Helmet Help

I do need a helmet since mine broke recently but unfortunately I don't think they have any free ones.

Re: Helmet Help

I checked out my HJC which is both DOT and SNELL. They didn't have my modular Fulmer (or any Fulmer for that matter).

cuz we get the ghetto ish in the states. if you look at the Arai rx7 which is a top of the line helmet in the states, it doesnt do as well against a lot of the euro spec helmets. all the DOT and snell ish will still protect ya head from a crash though. My next helmet is gonna be the Shark rsr 2. lighter than any other helmet you can get in the states, a 3mm thick visor, and passes all DOT snell and ec22-05 standards. ish is legit.
