Does this helmet have any safety certification? If so, which?

Check the website. The new helmets are dual certified. The old ones I believe are not. It is a good helmet in my opinion. I've used it for recreational biking and skate. I have a big head so it was hard to find one that would fit. They are legit, have a skate team etc.

I don't think it is a certified helmet, but it works great and I would still recommend using it to save you from cracking open your skull...

It has the DOT sticker on the back of the helmet...I realize it's still up for debate if it is legit but the helmet seems well made for my purposes. I bit bulky but light enough.

I am not sure but mine did not come with any safety certificates. I would recommend the chair though.

I'm not sure. We have been very happy with the helmet. We have purchased 2 and they are very sturdy and well made. I highly recommend them.

There is not a hint of origin anywhere on the helmet. On the other hand, there are no tell-tale marks of chinese manufacture either. The manual is in proper american english, it has a 2 year warranty, and is sold by Welding Helmets Direct, PO Box 8628, Bend, OR 97708. They also carry faceplates and backplates. I'm sure it's imported, but from where??? In my estimation, it's quite well made. I did work as a pro-welder but that was more than 45 years ago, when auto-darkening hoods were science fiction.customercare@weldinghelmetsdirect.com

Well if you trust putting it on a child's head, I would assume it's just as safe for an adult as it would I child. Yes the "crash resistance" is the same. Just because you put it on your head or a five year olds head it's still the same helmet.

So far that has not been a problem for me at all! I have been pretty careful and not very forceful with that or the visor pull down lever. When reading reviews you have to realize this is a low cost helmet at the end of the day and I am glad it has worked out for me so far!

yes it is the same one, it works well for light welding jobs. buy a real helmet though.

Sadly, I also haven't been able to answer that question. Great helmet, but I suspect from their website, it's not made in the USA. If it is, they aren't making it very well known...

I don't think it is, as there isn't a sticker or stamp anywhere on it that says it is approved. I would expect you would have to go to some type of full safety type glass windshield if you that certification- there are some out there, just not this one!

I assume so. The one I bought last year was accurate. My 9 year old loves his helmet collection.

Much more likely you will get headaches if you don't! I find the helmet is comfortable, with great noise and face protection - I can wear it for hours without any problem.

You can purchase this helmet with or without a shield.....same helmet but cheaper w/o shield. Fabulous helmet with great air flo and very comfortable. I think it was originally designed for the track. I use it for training as do many of my friends. I love it.

I don't any problem. It's a lot lighter than other helmets that I've worn: football, snowmobile, tanker, GI.

I don't believe so. It's not a motorcycle helmet. It does, however, offer better protection than a standard bicycle helmet.

I am not sure. I haven't needed to replace my visor. Love the helmet though.
