    CR's Take

    This relatively expensive adult bike helmet is among the top-rated models in CR testing. It offers excellent impact absorption and features a multidirectional impact protection system (MIPS), a promising technology designed to reduce the risk of concussion. This relatively lightweight and easy-to-use helmet also provides very good ventilation. It comes in three sizes and has several adjustment features so that you can get a custom fit.
