I have one of the DOT half helmets. Love it. My original one never fit right. Called them and explained what the issue was, they sent me a new one that was reshaped for my head. No fuss, no muss.

I'm not surprised at all that the helmet has failed testing, and I question the validity of the DOT sticker. Depending on where you are and the mood of the LEO, you can get dinged for this helmet since the DOT sticker is applied to the helmet, rather than clearcoated into it.

 

Bought one a couple of months ago because I wanted DOT but got tired of the mushroom head look really fast. I like the helmet very much! Fit and finish, customer service, and how light it is are all perfect.

 

I prefer my EXO-100. Good padding, commo friendly.Zip off neck liner and flip down visor and it is approved by Dot and Snell. I don't worry about mushroom head either, becuase I can take it of when I stop, then all my "coolness" comes out
