No it's not DOT approved, but more because they rate HIGHER, they go to the European Testing since they are not sold in the states anymore, DOT wanted something like 1000 helmets for free to get approved and roof told them no. But when you look at the ratings, they go through all the same test, and roof actually ranked as one of the highest, DOT means shit to me, what DOES mean something to me, is safety....

So then the ROOF's SNELL rated?

If I was wearing the lid that chick has on, my lower jaw would've been gone...it's worthless.
