DOT or SNELL ?
Yes, DO read in article (link) in primal's post above.
I read it too, before I bought one, and concluded that DOT is definitely good enough. SNELL approved helmets can be too hard. Also SNELL whacks the helmets twice, and in practice, accidents involve only one whack at the most, if you're out of luck...
In an article comparing the ventilation of different brands, I read that HJC has good ventilation. So I got an HJC CL-MAX, because of my glasses I had to have a modular (flip up front) helmet. It is DOT approved and since it is modular, it doesn't have SNELL approval. No modular helmet gets SNELL approval, obviously. No big deal.
Buy one that fits snug.
