Helmet made in usa?
Is there such a thing as a helmet made in the usa? I've searched on the net and here and can find no evidence of any. The last few years I've borrowed a snowmobile helmet to ride. But I've recently begun looking for an actual off road motorcycle style. A few stores I've been to all stock helmets made in china. Over the last year I've been trying to purchase made in the USA products with little success.
Sorry for the newbie question. My wish list; snell rated, $200-$400, made in the USA. Too much to ask for?
Thanks

Just a thought. Thanks for the replies. Over the last year I've had some made in china products fail me, such as; floor jack, plastic gun case, bench vise and flood light. It irritated me, so I have been trying to buy made in the USA products this year. Very hard to do so I might add.
Anyone have experience with the Bell Moto 8 or the MX1 helmets? I haven't found a store here that stocks them yet. I tried on an O'neal(monster logo) and liked the fit, it was Snell M2010 made in China. I don't need one with fancy graphics or advertisement. Just camo or basic color would do.
thanks

Motorcycle Superstore has them and depending on whether color is more important than price, clearance items are at a good price.

As long as the company does their quality control here in the USA all is good. I know most helmet companies assemble their products here in the USA even if the material is made in China.
Companies like Bell, Troy Lee, MSR, Six-Six-One, HJC etc...etc..... all make their helmets in China but they go through QC here in the USA.
FWIW I think Aria are still made in Japan. And I think Shoei are also made in Japan still....
TLD has their products made in China at an American run plant, so all QC is done by Americans and they are assembled in California.

Its difficult to find made in USA helmets. We Americans believe in building big things like big cars, big trucks, big harley bikes.....
