CR's Take

This relatively expensive adult bike helmet is excellent at absorbing impact forces in a crash. A ratchet-style dial and extra padding help with fit, and ventilation is very good. But it's one of the heaviest and most expensive helmets CR has tested. It comes in only two sizes, so try before you buy to make sure you get a good fit.
