I have a head like a rock, but my wife loves me so much it is sickening, therefore I have decided that a good helmet could keep me from getting uglier than I already am. I was looking at a THH TS-41 blue dragon, DOT and SNELL certified. Is this a good brand/model. I have already researched DOT and SNELL, and decided that I will NOT buy a helmet without both. I need to keep the $$$ reasonable on this decision too... any help would be GREAT! | ||

Buell's website tell you makes their helmets. It's the initials in the size description: AGV, KBC, etc. | ||

Fulmer Helmets appear to be based out of Memphis, TN… not sure if they are made there though. | ||

Think that all DOT and Snell rated helmets are equal as far as protection goes. The difference is in the fit, finish, comfort, etc. All stuff that you can not easily grade. Go try on helmets and get the one that fits you the best. You can save some money by leaving off the graphics that some offer. |
