Helmet testing, beyond government standards
Author Last Post
The link below is an interesting article rating helmets, all of which meet government standards.  But under this additional testing, some are better than others.

All of the top rated helmets use the newer MIPS system, which is designed to provide a low friction layer inside the helmet and provide better protection against additional types of injury.  The article provides more explanation of the MIPS system.

You may want to consider these ratings when purchasing a  new helmet.
