Which is one of the issues with the Snell test brought up by the MotorCyclist magazine article several years ago. That and the different sized head forms having the same mass.
Corrected, or at least improved significantly, with Snell 2010...similar to ECE apparently. |

Those Schuberth models are all older models that are no longer available so that data probably isnt relevant anymore.

It is such a complicated decision, It is easier to find the perfect bike then the perfect Helmet.
I have a Shoumy Apex. I didn't see that brand tested

You are so right, couple things I prefer are inflatable cheek pads and an internal sun visor. |

It was the ECE rating and the fit that got me to buy the Shoumy.
For some reason I have more faith in the Europeans on this matter then the US.
More people ride more miles in Europe.

Cheek pads are an issue, I had to spend another $50 for small pads |

The only hassle is changing the visor. I am am looking for a good helmet with internal flip down visor. Any ideas? |

I just bought a Scorpion EXO-1100. It has good reviews, relatively light (~3lbs) has an internal visor, and is relatively inexpensive. I ordered a medium, as that's what I normally wear and it felt a bit on the small side to me. It's quite snug. I'm sure it will break in. The inflatable cheek pads are a gimmick but would be nice if they actually held air. I'f inflated them several times and never had them last longer than about 5 mins before they deflated. |

I am a huge fan of the Icon Alliance. ~$150, the shield doesn't fog, and this time it came with a dark smoke visor also. And it fits, and is rated ECE. I buy a new helmet about every year, because the "washable" liners and such just don't recover after 300+ days of riding (just rubbing it in for those in the states with snow seasons).  |
