My HJC isn't SNELL approved and according to that helmet safety site its ranked above the Arai RX7 helmet. To be perfectly honest I doubt there is really much difference in the quality of these helmets... I know I'm probably going to get crucified for saying that, but in all honesty a helmet is a very simple thing with only so many materials, shapes and molds that can be used. I mean, I may be WAY off on this, but that helmet safety site is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. My HJC new is 250 pounds and rated at 5 stars, the Arai RX7 is 500 pounds and rated at 3 stars... I honestly think the majority of what you pay for on a helmet is design and name. GRANTED with a no name helmet you take a larger chance, but thats what the DOT rating is for right?
