    TL;DW: Yes. Not bad. Not as good as some pricer ones, better than other pricier ones.

    • Top marks: 8
    • This $25 one: 16
    • A bad one: 25

    Way better than nothing, not bad considering, and better than much more expensive ones.

    Plus the helmet lab was cool.

      Actually the answer is it depends. Many of the 20 and 30 dollar range helmets scored as high as expensive ones. A 59 dollar helmet has top scores over very expensive options. Some of the really expensive helmets online are counterfeit and don’t work at all so it’s better buying a cheap actual helmet than expensive fake. Buy at a bike store and not Amazon if you want a four hundred dollar carbon fiber helmet.
