Sharp Ratings?

[rinckley]

This has probably been asked before but i cant see much on it.

I went to try on helmets yesterday and the one i found was the most comfortable and the best fit was the HJC IS-16. Should i be paying attention to the Sharp ratings cause its only got 2 stars on there but fits better that the others i tried on.

Fit is king.

SHARP tests how much helmet exceed ECE 22.05, so it's not like they're saying it's unsafe.

It's got relatively poor side protection. That's a common issue with some of the most expensive helmets, so you're in good company.
