Then why is it DOT approved if it doesnt have impact absorbing materials? They claim they have that and the test results to prove it. Have you proof otherwise?



Having been an emt I can offer proof in the riders I have peeled off the streets.
Last spring I was at a bike shop and a man, maybe in his 50's walked in and said to the guy at the counter; "don't you have novelty helmets, I don't want to look stupid". There I am with my full face in hand. He asks if that is my Triumph outside. He then says "I won't wear a helmet like that, it's not cool". I responded "I gave up on looking cool when I grew up".
Now I am not saying anything about peoples choice, I still wear a pot on my head sometimes in the warm months but NOT because of the "cool factor". That is just a rediculous reason for a helmet choice.
