Price wise we talking (same helmet) Aus AUD$849 US AUD$429 delivered
That's exactly my point joe. I'm not too concerned with popo as my old helmet is ex US and i never got in trouble however my life is worht $1 million, I'm only concerned if I crash and die or end up on the wheelchair the insurance company won't pay out. Technically I don't have a problem with the DOT/Snell approved US helmets as their approval/testing standards are on par if not higher than AS standards. In the end I'll probably pay $849 to keep the insurance

The cops generally only check your helmet if they want to do you for something and can't find anything else. Similar to yellow stickers I guess, except that most of the cops know even less about helmets than they do about mechanical stuff. As for safety of different standards etc (from elsewhere on PSB): "Snell carries out destructive testing. Snell is one of the standards that MotoGP racers are allowed to wear (along with DOT and EC 22.05). In fact, Snell M 2010 covers all the requirements of DOT and EC22.05." Most US helmets are at a minimum DOT, but many are DOT + Snell. |

Just ring your insurer and ask the question..better still email, and then you have a written record.
