Morning/Evening all,

I am on the hunt for a open face helmet that meets all UK,EU and US safety standards.

I need it to look un-spaceball like too...

Also, would your insurance be void if the helmet does not meet standards ?

Cheers in advance !!!

 

Just look helmet with ECE 22.05 standards indication.

 

The problem isn't finding a helmet that meets all these standards, there are plenty--the issue is finding one that has all the requisite stickers on them that show that they've passed. Most helmets that pass UK/EU standards also pass US DOT, and most helmets that pass US DOT pass UK/EU standards. Because of the limited number of people riding in both areas, the manufacturers don't put both certifications on the helmets in order to reduce the confusion about whether a helmet is certified for that area/country.

When I was stationed in England, I had to purchase a new helmet because in order to ride legally it needed the UK certification permanently attached to the helmet and the Nolan that I had at the time only had the US DOT. Went to one of the dealers in Harrogate and found a Nolan exactly like (same model, same manufacturer, both said "made in Italy") the one I had from the States--only difference was it had the UK/EU stickers and no US DOT.

Probably should have kept it as a souvenir, but when sent back to the States I couldn't see needing it again so gave it to a buddy that had just arrived and was looking for a UK/EU approved helmet.

Cheers

Diesel Hi Jack, but as already said it may not carry the right stickers.

 

Nexx helmets cover both - check out nexxpro and are available from www.akb.ie

 

Cheers for the advice

I'm steering towards a Davida Ninety Two at the mo
