The wife needs a new bucket, I have a bv2s and love it but she refuses to wear it she does not like the claustrophobic feeling she gets.. I think rather than spend 200 on a cheap shitter I'd rather spend a little extra and get her a good one but dont know what.. I was thinking a bell one but ran into a guy w one amd he did not have glowing reviews.. How about the ckx tranz?

The shell construction was subcontracted out to Beachcomber hot tubs....

Irv, good point on modulars, searched but never found one with anything above DOT rating.

Snell certified is better than DOT certified but usually a Snell is also DOT (standards exceeded DOT).  New standard is out of Europe called ECE.  It's the highest in standards and has been for years.

ECE is indeed the new benchmark.  I was always told that the Snell safety testing was geared more towards auto racing than any other motorsports anyways. 

I thought, when I first heard about ECE standards, that they were the best/highest rated helmets on the market, but I just found out, after watching this,  that is not the case. This is one of the better vids I have watched on the subject, but of course, there are many more. Seems ECE does certify modulars but not Snell, and from what I have heard about modular impact testing, I don't blame Snell.
