To further clarify, I'm referring to the "Z1R ZRP-1"
which I believe is distributed by Parts Unlimited. In
the DOT document, the manufacturer is listed as HJC.

John may indeed be referring to a different lid -- a
Pep Boys helmet called, Raider (MSRP $69.95), which
also scored well in the article's tests.
