    Howdy,

    hmm, no clue what snell approved is. No mention of it on the webpage. This is all I see about meeting a given standard.

    Meets & Exceeds DOT & ECE Standards.

    Thanks,

    Lookin good isnt the point.Yeah that helmet looks great..But is it strong?
    You want a helmet that is DOT and Snell approved for safety.
    Snell is a series of tests the helmet is put thru, to assess its impact strength.
    DOT is a a test rating the department of transportation puts on the helmet.
    A helmet may be good for the street (Hence DOT approval),but not for MX or offroad use.That is why you want a Snell approved Helmet as well as DOT.

    I know helmets are pricey, but the extra 40-50 bucks is worth the added protection to get a D.O.T, AND Snell approved piece.
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    If you're worried about looking gay over a helmet, maybe you've got other problems.

    eh.. I like simple stuff. Like my ATC and my dog. I don't need a helmet that looks like a stinking Michel Bay Transformer.
    Maybe if it came with a laser...

    ^^^^LOL!^^^^^

    That looks like a cool helmet, but like the others said, if it is approved, you can't go wrong. I ordered mine of Ebay for $60, and it is approved and looks great!
