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."

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.
Was t-boned as passenger in a car 9 months ago. Side air bags were incredible. I have zero desire to get a classic or even moderately older car now.

Shipping is $9.95 from the original post. It's "included" with Amazon Prime, which I think is the difference being referenced. I did the same double take 😅😅😅

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.
It means you're likely to get 5 more concussions from a 13.37 rating helmet. The number is the number of concussions you're likely to get. So lower is better (obviously). I'd rather have 5 fewer concussions.

Specialized Align II MIPS is by far the best value 5-star helmet on the Virginia Tech rating at $50 MSRP and a score of 9.55.

Ah, thanks for that info about the number rating. That Specialized does look good. Hard to find and in limited sizes unfortunately.
