You can tell novelty and DOT helmets apart by looking for the DOT symbol on the back of the helmet. A DOT helmet will have met the standards enforced by FMVSS No. 218, which focuses on the compliance of a helmet to perform against standardized testing through the NHTSA. A DOT-compliant helmet would be marked as such, and sold as a certified helmet both online and offline. Without this certification, a helmet is considered a novelty helmet.
