I may be wrong but I don't think the Snell Foundation will certify half-helmets. They may be DOT accepted but if a helmet doesn't have the SNELL sticker, I won't wear it. It's my opinion and, of course, others will differ. I'm just saying, that for me, I would just go helmetless if I was considering the shorty and, here in Texas, helmetless is allowed.

I found this helmet article on the Motorycyclist magazine very refreshing in conducting an unbiased study of helmets other than the raters (DOT, SNELL, the European Standard ECE 22-05) performed...please check out SNELL's reply to the study, and the Motorcyclist's reply back to SNELL...food for thought anyway!
