I just bought a new one. Guess I better check to see if it passed. Edit: it gets 5 stars. Specialized Align ll.

Does anyone else remember those helmets from the late 80s/ early 90s where they left off the plastic skin and just used the foam with a lycra covering? I still remember seeing Curt Harnett's shatter all over Glenmore velodrome when he crashed in a sprint race. He sat on the track apron for a moment, brushed the remaining chunks of foam out of his hair, then went looking for another helmet so he could continue in the competition.
