I don't really pay any attention to the DOT or Snell rating , I buy what I like , whether it be expensive or very reasonable for quality. The fit on my head is the most important and ventilation is up there to, my head seems to like SHOEI on the expensive side and the SCORPION on the very reasonable for the quality. The scorpion is not far from being as good as the SHOEI , and is a third the price......Graphics are nice...Dont want a hat that duzent express........ What I Think I am , with colors I like...I have a lot of Hats!!!!
Dont let what Hat you have , or lack one, on your head keep you from missing what I said earlier about the death rate of bikers being the highest at close to 30 mph.....Yes that is in town. I did not make this up. You can look it up your self .....The ones I now of in this area had both full face and half hats on ....They are still dead!!!!! All but one was close to 30 mph. There has been a lot this year.....So be careful and don't let your guard down in town cuz that is where you have the highest % of being taken out. I am on my toes in town and a nervous wreck...But still having fun.
I can understand some one not wearing a Hat in town and putting one on on the not so free free way....The wind and noise is awful not to mention the eyes and face are taking a beating...All that can be tolerated puttzing around town. Just do not relax in town... Do not trust nothing in that environment...... It will all get you.
I like Amsoil.
