I ran across this article from SlashGear “EVERY MAJOR MOTORCYCLE HELMET BRAND RANKED WORST TO BEST IN NHTSA COMPLIANCE TESTING”. It is a very interesting list.
They ranked the top 14 helmet brands using the following methodology:
“To determine the best motorcycle helmet brands versus the worst, we’ve taken a look at brand compliance, meaning whether helmets pass rigorous testing standards by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and which safety standards their products meet or exceed, such as DOT, Snell, ECE, and others.”
I will summarize their top and bottom five.
Bottom 5 Top 5
HJC Helmets #1 Arai
KLIM #2 Shoei
Biltwell #3 Bell
AGV #4 BILT
LS2 #5 Schuberth
My personal helmets did not make the list… so somewhere in the middle? I HOPE!
Is your Motorcycle Helmet in the top or bottom 5?
I JUST WANT 2 RIDE!! 
I always use the Bell brand.
I have had so many different brands. At the moment I am using an HD branded Sena helmet.
Nice !!!! Half helmet or full face?
I read that article and shared it on FB. Wow! I had some negative response to the article. People saying it was bias. I thought it was very informative.
To me that means that they did not read the methodology section. While not a “Scientific” study, I think it was fair based on how they measured the helmets.
My thoughts exactly.
