[QUOTE="Pr1malr8ge, post: 19853, member: 16"] I have the mag that did the study but don't remember which one and brands and models were basicly left out.. None the less.. Just because helmet meets snell and dot does not mean it is a quality helmet.. Fitment, materials and exceding snell/dot is what sets these helmets apart. I'm not saying hjc is not a bad helmet because it actuly is a decent helmet compared to say ajc and vega or off brands sold at wallyworld or tractor supply. Lets take a bell moto 8 vs hjc. The bell moto 8 is contrusted with better shell material, designed to exceed snell and dot. it's also designed for better ventlation and facial impact resistance. Along with the fact it is shipped with a spare visor [not any safty issues but still nice] and two sets of cheek pads. THese cheekpad are diffrent allowing a more presise fit which makes the helmet safer. I know of several people who ride very fast and have crashed resulinting in knockouts. Switching to a higher quality helmet has eliminated any knock outs so far. Me fitment safty and ventalation are worth the money. You can spend your money how you want but In my opion these helmets are worth it to me vs risking being hand or iv fed for the rest of my life.. [/QUOTE]
