Great article on helmet manufacturing and hardness testing. AND why I bought a helmet that was DOT and SNELL M2000 certified by ICON

Are paradigms another way of viewing 20 pennies or 4 nickles . . . think out of the roll -
Yeah this is the one that caused a lot of controversy a few months back. Good read but the rebutal from Snell was also interesting if you can find it...Look a the Snell site...

Absolutely, that article created more of a stir in the helmet industry than any other I have ever seen. And the follow up articles have been excellent too.

I have a little to add:
The Z1R-ZRP1 (the test winner) may be hard or impossible to find. The company still makes it in different graphics under a host of other names (blaster, etc).

According to Tom Kingsland, Z1R Brand Manager (in regards to the fact that the offerings at Pep Boys looks the same):
"Z1R helmets are a brand owned by LeMans Corporation, owner of Parts Unlimited and Drag Specialties. Z1R Helmets my not be in every dealership but are available through Parts Unlimited dealers and stock has been good. The Z1R Helmets are developed by Z1R and manufactured by Hong Jin (Beijing) Sports Goods Co. and J-tech in Korea and China. Lots of helmets appear to be the same but things are not always the way they look on the outside. The Strike is not the same helmet as the Pep Boys Model. The head form is based on the North American head form; which is oval in shape, versus a round shape. Hope this help clarify some things. Feel free to contact me with any other questions (at) 608-758-1111"
