Midgard... AWESOME! simply awesome helmet is all I can say
For what it's worth as far as my opinion on DOT v non DOT. I ride in a "made in the USA" Skull Crush helmet made of KEVLAR/CARBON FIBER (instead of the plastic/fiberglass/polycarbonite that DOT helmets are made of) with a moisture resistant memory foam interior, good at dissipating energy instead of transferring it (instead of the styrofoam / terrycloth interior of most DOT helmets).
Now why is it not DOT? simply because of a standardized thickness requirement regardless of construction. The size, specs, and materials are completely different.
I choose to spend my money on a product that is individualy made in the USA to exacting spec with QUALITY materials. Can you say the same about your plastic, assembly line, foreign made DOT? Just something to consider before questioning anothers decision on what they want to wear.
