Question Made in the USA?

I started shopping for a new helmet and thought I'd do my best to buy one made in the USA. I've looked at 12 different brands and all of them are foreign made 2 companies in Italy, the rest in Korea, Japan, or China. Does anyone know of an American Helmet manufacturer?

Fulmer helmets. You have to find a dealer, they do not sell on the internet.

Thanks guys. None of these showed up in my searches. Ive never heard of the 3 companies you listed. I'll take a look. I was starting to feel a little disillusioned about my search. I'll let you know what I find and appreciate your info.

Unfortunately you are right. Just came from Staples. Bought 3 items, one from China, Vietnam, Mexico. None were available from USA. A dry erase pen was $4. You telling me USA can't make a dry erase pen for that money? I am a conservative, but corporations are greedy, and don't give a crap if it's a Chinaman or an American buying their product. We are going down the toilet with the Republicrats.
