A DOT Helmet is a type of motorcycle helmet that meets the safety standards set by the Department of Transportation in the United States. These helmets are designed to provide protection in the event of an accident, reducing the risk of head injuries. They undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand impacts and provide adequate coverage. DOT helmets come in various styles and sizes, catering to different preferences and needs of riders. They often feature a sturdy outer shell, impact-absorbing foam, and a secure chin strap. Wearing a DOT-approved helmet is essential for safety and is required by law in many states.
