ECE Certified Motorcycle Helmets

When it comes to motorcycle helmets, ECE certified helmets have long been the gold standard across Europe and beyond. Now updated to the more rigorous ECE 22.06, this safety benchmark means your lid has passed impact tests, chin strap strength checks, and even visor scrutiny. Basically, if it’s ECE-rated, it’s built to keep your brain bucket battle-ready.

ECE vs DOT Certifications

DOT certification is the base standard for street helmets sold in the USA. While their testing leads to helmets that will perform to a high level in a crash, the ECE standards are generally viewed as more stringent and more accurate when it comes to real-world crash conditions, like rotational impact forces.

DOT primarily relies on a self-certification process by manufacturers. This means manufacturers test their own helmets and label them as DOT compliant. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducts random compliance checks and can issue recalls if helmets fail. ECE, on the other hand, requires independent, third-party testing before helmets can be sold.
