Consumer Reports publishes a new helmet page
Summary: Consumer Reports has published a new
helmet page with 17 new models added to their test reports. They now have 61 models listed. They give excellent (5/5)
impact protection ratings to 36 of those models, with most of the remaining ones scoring Very Good. They now recommend 24
models. Of those they scored six at the top of the ratings, including two MIPS models and four without MIPS.
We have a page up with
more info on the new ratings. We have also updated our
Helmet Ratings page for the short list of helmets with the highest
Consumer Reports
rating for impact protection and scoring five stars in the Virginia Tech STAR concussion-related ratings.
