“The issue is you can’t buy a helmet without testing it. By testing I mean you have to try it on.”

Who better to to take advise from about protecting your brain while out on the hill than a neurosurgeon. Watch this short video by Dr. Charles Rosen and put some deep consideration into the fit of your existing helmet and the next one you buy.  TBI is no joke, always wear your bucket:

“When you put a helmet on, it needs to fit snugly and be comfortable without hotspots. You should obviously get a quality helmet, but it doesn’t have to be the most expensive one in the shop. The key is that helmet has to fit properly. What I recommend, is you put the helmet on, you make sure that it can’t move, that the strap will fit in such a way that it doesn’t put undue pressure on your neck.”
