    Check out this euro helmet safety testing website

    In my endless searching for helmet reviews, I stumbled on this. Looks impressive to me and I really like the testing methods.

    Nice find Red!

    Doesn't have my brand though (Speed & Strength).

    There are quite a few here that aren't available there, but I did find two of the ones I was looking at. The HJC RPHA 10 plus scored poor on leftt side impact. Not sure if it's the same as our RPHA or not. What appears to be our new HJC RPHA ST scored about the same. HJC's IS-17 scored 5 stars, the Scorpion EXO500 4 stars.

    I've ridden Euro helmets for a long time because I think their standards make more sense than American ones. I try to avoid Snell rated ones using the same rationale.

    Looks like I'm going with an ECE helmet too.
