When I looked into those flip-up helmets years ago, I remember you
couldn't get one that was Snell certified because the flip-up chin guard
wouldn't pass the impact tests that a real full face helmet could. So, at
the time, I figured I might as well just go for the comfort of an open
face helmet with face shield. I wonder if the flip-ups are being made
better, now.

Dunno about Snell certification, but they're DOT approved.
