A total of 48 snow sport helmets have been rated using the STAR evaluation system. Our impact tests evaluate a helmet's ability to reduce linear acceleration and rotational velocity of the head resulting from a range of head impacts someone participating in a snow sport might experience. Helmets with more stars provide a reduction in concussion risk for these impacts compared to helmets with less stars.
