this is a dotl approved youth helmet. graphics were vibrant & popping. fit well. very pleased. my only comment for reader awareness is the chin strap. our other "motocross" purchased helmet has the standard 2 metal, put strap through & reverse back and then snap it to hold strap securely. this one has no snap, but a small elastic band you put the chin strap through to hold after the reverse back metal loop. our boys only ride for recreation, so that was not a deal breaker and the cost was so affordable, which was what we were shopping for, safe, dot approved, & affordable.
