Racing helmets, they protect your melon! But is it really worth spending more on a pricier racing helmet? Or will a bargain helmet do the job? Join “scientist” Bart Bidlingmeyer as he examines the history of racing helmets, the difference between DOT and Snell Certification, and the material inside helmets that keeps you safe. $50 Racing Helmet vs $150 Racing Helmet!

I can't speak to car helmets but motorcyclist magazine did testing on actual testing equipment and At that time they found that Snell offered no extra protection over DOT. This was vack on 2006 I think. They lost a ton of ad revenue from the test but it did spur SNELL to update and rethink their testing procedures and requirements.

@jeepinbanditrider 6 жыл бұрын

This is a good read if anyone is so inclined. Keep in mind its an older article and the SNELL standard has been updated since then. Most likely due to this article. motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/MotorcyclistHelmets.html

Its waaaay more complicated. First, I read the article and it was not very well written. Second, I really like Snell BUT these guys are almost making the argument tjat a pricey helmet is always better and that a Snell helmet is always better- and I know those are neither necessarily true. The cool thing about snell is that they certify and they update standards. Third- read the Hurt report. DOT is way past due for update. Fourth- so long as the helmet meets DOT, the two best things you can choose for are full face cover and a really good fit- snug, not too tight, good contact all over, no hot spots. Serious.

Aaannd there's been some re-thinking of having such a hard shell due to secondary musculoskeletal issues. Also, a poorly fitting helmet, regardless of certification or price, is bad. Don't do it. Short answer: Don't shop by price. Shop by certifications and fit.

Sam Johns an Arai and a Shoei are both rated identically. The former is about $150 and the latter generally starts at $400. The rest is fit, graphics, and venting. And with very few exceptions, the Snell certifications have remaine'd remarkably consistent.
