Default Re: I have an American lid. It's snell approved so should I trust it?

The weight is the main difference people notice - and it all comes back the the shell having to be much tougher for Snell testing (so it tends to be thicker).

But there's more to a good lid than how hard the shell is...if there wasn't, we'd all just wrap our heads in concrete
