Many helmets meet only DOT standard. This is still a pretty stiff standard. My NavaIntegral Nava2 is only DOT, though it meets European standards that don't count in the US. It used to meet ANSI standard, but they upgraded the standard. I got it because it was the only helmet that was small enough for my head while still allowing my rather large-framed glasses to fit inside comfortably. I couldn't even get the glasses into the Bell helmet. As I understand it, Bell is about the best there is. Whatever you get, remember, spending $100.00 on a helmet may seem like a lot, but how much is your head worth? Ariel (Now, if I could only get up the nerve to get a motorcycle...)
