I have the Snell 2005 rating on one of the many stickers buried underneath the padding. I believe it is a M rated helmet but has satisified the Chicago SCCA, Milwaukee SCCA (two different groups) and the Northwest Indiana SCCA. My HJC cost me under $200 and is quite comfortable and the graphics on it make me go faster.

I have also used Bell in the past which are very nice helmets. It was simply more convenient to stop by the local motorcycle shop on my way home.

I agree that if you are going to do DE's than go for a good helmet that was designed for that purpose.
