Looks quite cool but I'd be nervous about buying a brand that I hadn't tried on for size.

DOT helmets are NOT legal in NZ unless they are manufactured in the US.

Do we have to meet Snell regs too? Or does it just have to meet one or the other?

sorry, my bad!

very good.

What I mean is, I brought it in Britain where there is only three types

Blue sticker (suitable for racing)
Green Sticker (road use), the only difference is one is two piece shell, the other is one, and
no sticker, not road legal.

But theres no dot rating. Other thing is, how many here have actually been pulled for this?

If the Shark is CE22 it's OK, if it's Snell it's OK.

Yea just found it. Not bad but as I was looking around I found a few others I like more. Still hopeing to find a mat-black flip up though.

Hmm maybe. Are they cheaper than $148? Cause the ones I'm looking at are that much including shipping too southern Cali. Flip up face and a smoked visor.
