A lot of people will see a helmet that is DOT approved and just go with that. What they aren’t aware of is that DOT helmets are subjected to a lower standard than those helmets that are SNELL approved.

Good post – good reminder.

I’ve always taken really good care of my helmets – they get washed and waxed when the bike does, never dropped, or hung off the hand grip, or carried stuck on the sissy bar, etc. So after 3 or 4 years they still look brand new, which makes it REALLY hard to justify a couple hundred bucks to replace them. But replace them I do, hoping the 3 to 5 year rule isn’t just BS dreamt up by the manufacturers to sell more helmets (and load up the landfills with fibreglass that will still be there in 100,000 years!).
