What is a quality helmet?
The most important aspect of a quality helmet is its inner EPS lining. This is because the lining mitigates the impact of hitting the ground, absorbing the shock and protecting your brain. Look inside a helmet. There should be a white material that is too hard for fingernail penetration. If it is soft enough for your fingers to dent, it holds virtually no safety value. A hard outer shell protects your brain from sharp intrusive objects and a strap that fits snugly under your chin and around your ears ensures that the helmet sits on the correct place on your head.
