Motorcyclist had an interesting article on helmet standards. Much to my surprise and I think theirs, helmets meeting the Snell requirements actually provided less protection than helmets meeting the DOT requirements. An interesting read for sure.

Yeah, and I would love to know how many "Pep Boys" hats are worn by their staffers.

Those guys talk the talk, but do they walk the walk?

Does anyone have any experience with the Z1R that ranked highest?

At the end of the article they did say that all helmets are much better than a few years ago. Also they said for the impacts they were simulating, your other injuries would probably wipe you out anyway.
