There's no reason that helmet, at that price, can't be built to meet DOT specs. Looks neat, though.

They make another model that is DOT and cheaper, but it doesn't look as good as this one.

Also reminds me of the Simpson series helmets.

... doesn't mean that it CAN'T meet DOT, just that it hasn't been tested. Testing and certification is HUGE money for a small company.

Pointless is this one at $1160 and NOT DOT! I don't think you would even be able to do a head check without snagging on your shoulder.

Yeah exactly how many do they expect to sell with the disclaimer:

It is not that it looks like a vagina on your face, but rather, it makes you face look like a vagina.....which in my estimation is much worse!

Seems like it needs one of those brushy strip things over the top.

I looked at that helmet, & I thought to myself, with a bit of grey paint in the right places you could make it look just like Paul Teutel Sr.

Anyone see that American Made lid in Cycle World (I think) last month. It's supposed to be a new way to skin the same old cat. It looks kinda neat.
