Default helmets

Whatever kind/ brand you get, you'll probably want one that is "Snell" rated. There also is a European standard ECE 2205, I'm not sure if that number is correct. The snell helmets are tested to a higher standard than DOT helmet. The Snell foundation updates their standards every five years so a helmet with a 2005 sticker may be only a few months old or it could be 4 1/2 years old. I have an HJC, Snell rated, that has been good for me, I might get a Bell next time around.
