"Mr. Davis also agreed to the agencys (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) demand that Advanced Carbon Composites stop designing, selling or manufacturing motorcycle helmets. In addition, motorcycle helmets can not be designed, sold or manufactured by any company of which Mr. Davis owns 3 percent or more." - sounds like a quality product from a reputable manufacturer
According to your linked article, it was "the company", not NHTSA which drew attention to the failure of its helmets to meet DOT testing standards. That not seem reputable to you ?
Seems to me the company simply stood its ground, believing in its product but not, perhaps, the testing methods of DOT.
Words which alert you you are about to get the shaft: "I'm with the government and I'm here to help".
Bottom line, the helmets once carried the DOT sticker and now they don't. Same helmet !!
Lots of folks have ask Slowrider and I about our helmets and as far as I knew they had gone out of business. Well apparently they survived the DOT incident last year and they are going strong. So for all that were interested here is their new link, I am glad they are still going because this is the best and most comfortable helmet I have ever owned.
