    I just finished doing a lot of helmet research after I crashed. Here's what I found:

    With regard to helmet safety, as other posters noted, all helmets sold in the US must meet a minimum standard established by CPSC. The Snell certification is a little more rigorous. The only "large" manufacturer I could find who sells Snell-certified helmets is Specialized. I purchased their Propero helmet and couldn't be happier. It comes down lower on both my forehead and the back of my head, has great ventilation and is so light I can barely feel it. I think I paid $100 +s/h and didn't bat an eye. You can't put a price on safety.

    For a list of Snell-certified helmets you can go to this site: http://www.smf.org/certlist/std_B-90...90C_B-95C.html
