My old B90 Rated Helmet
Should I upgrade? It is from about 92-94 (also has ANSI Z90.4). a
Dept. store model once sold for $24.95 (got it end season for $10). Looks klunky with only six small vents and the top two have the foam 3/8 below the shell. Name is Fiero, and the visor is moveable. But it does have a Snell B 90 numbered sticker. This spent almost all its life in the garage or basement. Have been riding a little last three summers. No cracks, never dropped. Looks like crap but actually fits very well. Should I look for a name brand CPSC rated model on clearance (I presume) at a LBS? Or just ride on... |

If it's in good condition, a B90 rated helmet will be stronger than 95% of helmets currently on the market, which are made to weaker standards. Do you find it comfortable? If so, you might as well keep it. Disclaimer: polystyrene may be affected by UV, pollutants etc but IMO this is largely an excuse for manufacturers to sell you this year's model. |
