Helmet Choices

As I just stated in previous post, the wife is looking at helmets now. I'm insisting that she get full face, which she is okay with, but the ones she's found are DOT & ECE approved, but not SNELL approved (What's ECE, never heard of that).

Am I being ridiculous in insisting that the helmet be SNELL approved ?? I learned in MSF that many manufacturers don't like the SNELL requirements because they are tougher to meet, which in my book means the helmet better meet that requirement.

So, do I cave and let her get one that's not SNELL approved, or am I just being overly cautious/paranoid ??

Thanks.
