Helmets for 2007 and BHSI Wins Award

Summary: We have published our Helmets for 2007 article. Here is the intro and major headings. The full report is on our web page.

Helmets for 2007 - Introduction only

There are new helmets in 2007 that are worth a look if you are inclined to replace yours. There are some new models appearing with the rounder, smoother profile that we think is best for crashing, now called the "compact" shape. At least one of them was rated superior by Consumer Reports lab testing last year. Other than that there is no major technological advance that compels you to replace your current helmet.
