ILM WS901 Dirt Bike Helmet vs HJC CS-MX 2 Helmet

Buy the ILM WS901 if you ride off-road in the US and want a complete kit out of the box: it carries DOT and FMVSS 218 certification, comes with goggles, gloves and a balaclava, and has a knob-adjustable sun visor. The HJC CS-MX 2 is the better-built helmet for pure motocross: an injected polycarbonate shell, ECE 22-05 certification, the ACS channeling vent system and a washable Nylex liner, and owners call it light and sturdy. The ILM wins on included gear and US legality; the HJC wins on shell quality, ventilation design and finish.

• Choose the ILM WS901 if you need a DOT-approved helmet for trail, ATV or dual-sport riding and want goggles, gloves and a face mask included.
• Choose the HJC CS-MX 2 if you ride motocross or enduro, already own goggles, and want a lighter, ECE-certified shell with a proven venting system.
