We've used simpson and impact stuff for years (belts,helmets & coats) and there the ONLY company I trust and will use until somebody tells me different.

In regards to Helmets, they are the only ones I have trusted for years, AND they were Made in the States, I just bought a new Simpson helmet and was chagrined to see the "Made in China" label
Im not saying "its not as good" Im just saying Simpson bike helmets have saved my life more times than I can count, I remeber paying $800 for a multi impact rated Simpson Indy type helmet when they first came out because well they were one of the few that were multi impact rated....lo and behold that helmet saved my life. Another Simpson saved my life after multiple tumbles and thuds on concrete at over 80mph and well....
I hope their new Simpson helmets are as good the Made in China just scares me a little.
Ill probably be hard pressed to find a good Snell approved helmet made in the US ? Anyone know of any ?
Edit I also meant to mention, because of the ongoing "decertification" notices on SFI's website over the last year or so for Impact items, that is why I didnt buy a helmet of theirs, Fear Uncertianty and Doubt, this will have a Major Impact on Impacts business....
