PSA from Rob Hamers at Merit on DOI Specs

[Merit Helmets]

To all our past, current and future MSA Gallet customers.  There have been some questions regarding if the MSA Helmets are being tested to pass the new DOI Spec deadline of  April 19, 2020.

I am here to set the record STRAIGHT. While MSA is NOT involved in the new certification testing, Merit Helmets made the decision to have all the necessary testing done at our expense. Yes, it is expensive and time consuming, however we decided we were not going to leave our loyal customers with no options but to buy a competitors helmet. We have been performing R&D testing for the past 6 months with very positive results even in the light of multiple revisions the DOI has made to the spec.

Many of our customers have contacted us directly to get the facts regarding testing and we applaud you for taking your time to do this. Merit will be doing the final certification testing and fully expects to pass and be certified for both the LH050 and LH250 helmets prior to the APRIL 19, 2020 deadline. So, for all our past, current and future customers, please know that Merit is 100% dedicated to having our helmets DOI Certified. Merit Helmets are here to stay. Happy Heads is here to stay!! We appreciate your patience and continued support.
Please enjoy your holiday season with family and friends and have a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year.
From all of us at Merit Helmets, including Lady Lu !!
Thanks
Rob Hamers
President
