Google didn't throw up anything. Maby not tested to eu standard? I know they use a different standard over in the USA which is not transferable or recognised in the eu. Of course a lot go helmets have both but a manufacturer might not bother if a very small volume of sales is expected. Just a thought maby up the wrong street altogether. JJH

Yeah, I'd already googled it and have now emailed HJC. Quite like my HJC flip front, seems good value as do these if the US prices are anything to go by. Can get one on Ebay from states but shipping and no doubt import tax will kill the price

According to HJC website, they are DOT approved, but as you say, this does not meet EU standards
