Lo and behold, all the editors are still wearing Arai's and Shoei's. Not a Walmart special in the bunch. Whould've thought? They must crave danger. nfloor :rolleyes

And not a letter about it. But I suppose we'll give them another month on that what with production schedules being what they are.

Write the letter yourself. I'd be interested in their response.

Mabye they are willing to give up safety for a light and comfortable helmet that feels safe?

I'm fairly certain they got a huge response. Either they chose to avoid it, or the production turnaround means it will show up next month. But I may fire off an email.

I wouldn't be surprised if they got their gear and goodies free so they can be photographed wearing it.

Well, the results were still pretty close. The Arai clocked 201, the cheapo got 150. The standard is 300g. I'm not gonna run out and buy a new helmet when I've got a $450.00 Arai in the closet. I'll replace it in two years. I'd be willing to bet that Arai and Shoei are gonna answer this study with Low-G helmets that still meet Snell - or Snell will change their procedures.

If something like that happens and we end up getting safer gear because of that article - far-fetched though it seemed here and there - then good on Motorcyclist.

Boehm said on the ZRX forum that he doesn't wear Snell helmets anymore since his buddy got hurt in one and he got "experts" to inspect it ect.. Maybe they are wearing Euro Arais and Shoeis...?
