No particular recommendation, but have to say this; if you read about the various impact mechanics research, you'll soon find out that there are no evidence that an helmet will save you on impact at or above 20mph (as in your head traveling at 20mph and suddenly hitting a stationary object - worst case scenario). Snell or DOT or NOT! lolll

That said, don't waste all your money on 'new tech' but, ideally, do get one from a reputable manufacturer that fits your head. Avoid buying online would be my best advise to you Jon. The helmet should remain fixed (aligned) when you turn your head from left-to-right as fast as you can. Go to a store where they sell them and try them on (a must, if you want something that needs buying once). The correct "fit" aspect is a far more important concern than the accreditation itself.

fwiw
