Guest 53gravely Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I assumed that the ECE rating trumps DOT...not the case! I thought I'd pass this link on which explains the testing difference. http://thehelmetman.com/snell-dot-ece-chart/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted November 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted November 4, 2014 Looks like it is better to have a small head. Let the head-shrinking begin. If my skull could keep up with my brain I'd be well on my way to a smaller helmet size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JZH Posted November 7, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2014 DOT certifies those stupid beanie helmets so that says all I need to know about their testing methods Actually, the DOT neither tests any helmets, nor certifies them, so you can rest easy! (Manufacturers self-certify compliance with the relevant standard and apply the DOT mark to the helmets themselves. Obviously, this system is subject to abuse...)
