you're not getting what i'm saying. you yourself can put a DOT sticker on a helmet and the cops do not have anything in any book that enables them to tell the difference. someone once said hey can tell because it was a sticker, which is also untrue. i have a DOT helmet from Helmet city international(HCI)and the DOT was a sticker and it peeled off.

there are lots of things i enjoy, but that's not one of them. but they don't pull people over for helmets around here. but we don't have a real helmet law in delaware. you don't have to wear it but it has to be on the bike. i wear one no matter what, but i wear one from HeadTrip, carbon fiber kevlar mix. but that's the fact, they don't know the difference, so why bother getting one with all these certifications. i understand wanting to be safe and i'm not saying you shouldn't wear a brain bucket, but to each his own. but i'd buy an hjc or an hci over a shoei any day. i have 4 hci's

but if you have a dot half, what do they do then. and how do they tell the difference between a dot and non dot, and what do they say if it has a fake sticker on it. do they give a reason as to why they think it's not real. you should tell them to show you in THE BOOK, that differentiates a dot from a non dot. bet they will give you a bs answer cause there is no actual book

To get a Snell needs the full face for most but my HJC AC3 has it. Full face is a Little more trouble but no hotter since you can always throw the shield up and a full face is a lot safer. My HJC 3/4 is heaver then my Shoie full face. I have a Daytona but it's a death sentence if you go down

snell rating looks for more chin protection. the arai is snell rated and does so in the 3/4 with extended cheeks. there is very little helmet missing in the middle.

i looked it up and the only explanation hat was given was the difference in weight. but i have an HCI carbon fiber that is a god 1 1/2 pounds lighter than my others.
