Bell, the only helmet you could turn up at scrineering without an acu sticker and still race
When they put them to british standards they faile because the chin strapwas a fraction of a mm not wide enough but the material was way stronger than required.
I bought a Shoei which was the japanese copy, had a slightly bigger apeture top to bottom
