If you peruse the VT helmet ratings, you'll see the very best helmets are in the 8 range. But those are around $300. This is still a 5 star helmet. Just depends on how much protection vs cost you want. Stars are the overall grade, with the number rating being a subset.

From their paper on the star rating: https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/ite...eef66ad1fa

"The range of final STAR values across helmets are then distributed into a discrete number of stars (1 to 5) for ease of consumer interpretation based on thresholds given in Table 4. The thresholds align with approximate percentage reductions in number of concussions; it is understood that an unhelmeted impact at either of the prescribed impact velocities would always result in injury, so 47.4 concussions and more severe injuries would be sustained based on the exposure weightings of the impacts evaluated (38.0 impacts + 9.4 impacts). The STAR value for each helmet model represents the number of concussions likely to occur out of those 47.4 impacts, which can be expressed as a percentage. The 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 star ratings align with >70, 70-60, 60-50, 50-40, and <40% reductions, approximately."

13.37 on the VT helmet scale.
What does that mean? Is that bad? Good? Confused

No, it's good, it received a 5 star. Meaning greater than 70% reduction in concussion chance. But 5 star with a 13.37 rating vs a 5 star with an 8.x rating means what? That I don't know.

Every time I hear this helmet brand, I have a strange hankering for Mediterranean meat sandwiches.

Had a friend in college get t-boned in her car when a drunk ran a red light. Her head hit the b-pillar and she spent 3 months in a coma. I've been thinking about car helmets ever since.
