Versatile.
Approved for use here? (Not that it matters to me - never had a cop take the faintest interest in my helmet when stopped randomly).

Just found the full quote of above from a blog article. Whilst DOT can be sold, its not legal on the road.
"It is now legal for retailers to sell helmets compliant to the recognised standards AS1698, UNECE 22.05, DOT, Snell and BSI. A helmet only has to be “fit for purpose” to be sold and the “purpose” may be either road use or motor sport use where helmets to other standards are allowed. This means that when purchasing a helmet for road use, riders must ensure the helmet is compliant to AS1698 or UNECE 22.05 only."

Oops... my bad... I missed the bit about DOT only being for comp or off road use.
