About
The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab is a university research program, not a treatment clinic. It independently tests sports and activity helmets and publishes its STAR rating system, which scores how well each helmet reduces the head accelerations linked to concussion risk. Ratings cover football, hockey, soccer, cycling and other categories, and the lab notes no helmet is concussion-proof.
