Carbon Fiber Helmet

RE: Carbon Fiber Helmet
Got my helmet today. I sent the first one back to be exchanged for their head trip helmet. The whole turn around including the exchange took roughly 2 weeks. I couldn't be happier. Love the helmet and the fact that these people pick up their phone. You call and talk to a real person right away. That's priceless these days.
Hey Cohiba Joe...thanks for all the info you posted about these helmets on several threads. That really helped me decide on one of these

RE: Carbon Fiber Helmet
I had been looking at the earlier threads on ACC as well, but was concerned about fit. Today I stopped in while in Florida, and the folks there were EXTREMELY helpful. I got to try on different sizes. I turned out to be an L, but there was still a little slop in the temple area. It happens that they have a "reshape" helmet that they offer. Perfect fit. Stupid-large discount if you are a walk-in. I have been a Shoei guy since 1974- their hats fit my bean, or i have a Shoei shaped head- the 'reshape" model of the ACC DOT helmet is perfect. Can't say enough.

Sorry, I know it's not totally related but what about the differences between DOT and SNELL standards?
Is Snell better than DOT and where do you find helmets certified by them? All I seem to see out there is DOT no matter who the maker is??? Can a helmet actually be endorsed or certified by both?

MDH, the rule of thumb I was taught and my limted reading substantiates, is that the Snell rated helmets will offer the highest standard of protection. You will not find a shorty with a Snell rating, however some open face helmets are Snell. http://www.smf.org/standards/m/m2000std.html

i had them put the three snaps on so I can use a face shield in rain. They dont charge for mounting snaps, but charge $10 if you want a visor - I've got enough visors already from other old helmets.
I like a visor early morning or late afternoon when the sun is low but always seem to catch the wind so wind up not using them.
