    From that summary of the Snell standards, I'm having a hard time figuring out how the B-90 standard differs from the B-95. The sentence stating that helmets that meet only the lesser standard offers no significant difference in performance (I'm paraphrasing) has me scratching my head. I guess I need to read the standards themselves. I'm not interested in wearing a full face helmet, although maybe the OP is. At least among Bell (the brand that fits my head the best), the only ones that appear to meet the B-95 standard are full face. I did see some good information on Snell's website on how to properly fit and adjust a helmet. In any event thanks for the links, Oak and Muirenn.

    I love the Uvex helmet that I use for the road - it fits my head much better than ether Bell or Giro AND it has a little mesh behind the front vents to keep bugs out

    I have a long and skinny head-- not a round one. I love my LAS helmet... after wearing a Giro that crushed the front of my forehead for years I just can't get over how comfortable and nice it is to have a helmet that matches the shape of my head!
