That’s cool! I found another page of info from an independent organization:
http://www.helmets.org/helmet06.htm#shain

It sounds like 2-4 hits in the same spot is the maximum. Of course, it would depend on how hard the impact is…

That is a pretty nice helmet! Whether it’s a $20 or $125 helmet, it protected your head from that crash and that’s money well spent if you ask me.

Actually, the Shain Helmet IS designed to take multiple impacts. It’s made of a special “Re-Up-Foam”. Here’s the link for more information:

By the way, this helmet’s price is about $125 and darn well worth it.

You may want to consider replacing the helmets since they are NOT designed for multiple impacts.

Always wear your helmet.
