Here's my fat head in it:

Great feedback, how comfortable are the side pads around your ears & against your jawline?

Fabrikator, where did you get that helmet? I want one if its really DOT. I wonder if Canada's
Dot is the same as the one is the U.S.? See if you cant find out what kind it is. That thing looks really low profile.

DOT is actually a US thing, but Canada just uses it as well. If I get a chance today or the next couple days, Ill go back and find out what it is, or if people can order from them over the phone.. Ill keep you guys posted.

Fab, as long as it has the Dot Cert inside the helmet, it will pass US Dot standards. Please find out what kind it is and where to call or where to get one. We will all order one Im sure if they are DOT certified. That thing looks GREAT!!! Help the brothers out

One question, is there padding on the inside, or can you feel the shell from the inside? The thing with DOT helmets is the hard padding thats inside the helmet.

it has that hard styro padding on the inside albeit not much. I think its called (EPS) the shell is made of ABS it says. I posted pics a few pages back, and it does have the DOT marking on the outside and inside


edit found this.. so I does infact meet DOT specs for US and Canada


In North America the most common standard is DOT FMVSS-218, which is administered by the U.S. Government and is more commonly referred to as DOT. This standard is mandatory for every motorcycle helmet sold in the United States and Canada, and consists of a battery of tests to gauge impact protection, the retention system’s ability to keep the helmet firmly attached to the rider during such impacts, and how the helmet’s design affects the rider’s peripheral vision among other considerations.
