*Awarded the higher medal: this helmet scored within 0.1 points of a medal boundary. Every laboratory test has a small measurement margin, so HIPER gives the higher medal to helmets this close to a boundary.
* Bought in another currency; the price shown is an approximate conversion to pounds of the recommended retail price at the time of purchase. Not a current price.
