Occasionally on SL, we'll have questions on helmets... people ask which are the best, etc...
my answer always was, "if it has a DOT sticker on it, it means it meets the gov't standards"...
i no longer think this way after reading various articles such as these:

After educating myself, i'll be looking at helmets from a completely different perspective... hope you do too....
