5-STAR VIRGINIA TECH HELMET RATING

Although all helmets currently sold meet minimum safety requirements specified by standards organizations, two helmets that pass the same standard may offer different levels of impact protection. Virginia Tech Helmet Labs Ratings identify which helmets best reduce concussion risk, with five stars representing the best available.

Through a series of impact tests, helmets are evaluated using two fundamental principles:

1. Each test is weighted based on how frequently players experience an impact at a specific location on the head (front, rear, side); and
2. Helmets that lower head acceleration reduce concussion risk receive higher scoresFor full information on the VT testing methodology visit their website: Virginia Tech Helmet Labs.
