Retro Helmets

[gossman_imp]

One motorcycle editor lost his job for an article he did saying many DOT rated helmets were in fact safer than Snell rated helmets. Can't remember who it was though. "in general" though Snell rated helmets have a better reputation for safety in this country by word of mouth on forums such as this..right or wrong.

Found it Dexter Ford motorcyclist Magazine ..it is a great article to read in it's entirety.

and if you read anything in this report read this part

To Snell? Or Not To Snell?

Pretty interesting read. If I buy a helmet and it meets DOT standards its good enough for me. Any other rating is frosting on the cake.
