JEB's MUST have DOT approval to be sold in the USofA as safety helmets.

Most of the motorags have had helmet articles, and they all say roughly
the same thing:  Any helmet is far better than no helmet.  A full face
helmet can sometimes be better than an open face.  DOT requirements aren't
as stiff as Snell, but they are still good enough for "typical" accidents.

Of course, lots of helmet manufacturers advertise in them, and I've yet to
see any kind of product review in any of them that said "Don't buy this,
it's junk".  I used to have a DOT helmet;  this time around I got a Snell
85, just to be sure.

P.S. So when was the last time you had a typical accident?
