Went with Head Trip myself. From what I read on the website, they pass the DoT impact test but not the puncture test. Not really too sure about the clasp though. Doesn't seem like it would hold up very well. I'm thinking about looking into replacing it with some D rings.

They will change it to D-Rings for free if you send it back to them.

Just call them direct and order, they will help you measure over the phone.

All military riders are required to wear DOT helmets.

If you care?

You'll find a good selection at www.jafrum.com, including a carbon fiber model for around $60 I think, plus 10% sale right now, and ALL are DOT.

20-30 bucks next rally you attend every vendor sells cheap non DOT,But I personally would wear one thats been put to the test,If you have to wear a helmet ,you might as well get some protection if something were to go wrong,just the way I think
