Are motorcycle helmets made in the UK okay to buy and wear in the US?

By On July 23, 2011 · 2 Comments

I am looking at buying a motorcycle helmet made by Oxford Products in the UK. Specifically the Superman Box helmet. I don’t know if the helmet is DOT approved and I cant find anything on their website saying that it is or is not. Can anyone shed some light on this situation for me. Thanks

    You should be fine.Helmets made in the UK have the same standards as we have.If it was made in China who knows it might even be made of toxic materials.
