Default Re: Looking for a new helmet!

For example, 5 star rated lid, but check out the % lid stayed locked. How did it get 5 stars?!

Word of Warning with Sharp

The tests are flawed as some of the best helmets under Snell (which is the most comprehensive helmet test in the work) fail SHARP. There is a group of manufacturers that won't give hemets to the Sharp test (Nolan Group and used to be Arai)
