Since 1954, Bell the leader and largest head protection company in the world, has for goal to create a helmet that has the ability to absorb and dissipate energy at every level of velocity (in the US, 50% of the motorcycle population doesn’t wear a helmet.) Over 50 Bell engineers, designers and testing professionals work in Scott Valley inside the largest test lab in the world, testing more helmets in this lab than all other helmet testing labs together. Beyond fit and comfort, helmets are tested at a wide range of speeds , from low to high speed and in between. There are four different conditions that the helmets must be tested in: hot, ambient, cold and wet condition. Bell also adjust head coverage and how the helmet performs during rotational injuries.

Bell use to be made in America.
Helmets are great and keep your hair minty-fresh.But seeing as most bikers die from chest injuries why not Bell street armour like a good knight out?
I use a Bell on the head end,and have no complaints about it.
Are there any US manufactured DOT/Snell rated helmets?
