Thanks Allister. After perusing the standards, it looks like Snell is still the one to beat. I did not realize it but some of these standards are met through "self testing" and all it takes to leagally stick a sticker on the helmet is for the company to certify they did the testing or had it done for them. Hardly reassuring.
