WABA puts out a booklet every year titled "A Consumer's Guide to Bicycle
Helmets" which is the latest word on what to look for in a bicycle
helmet.  It includes WABA and Snell survey results on most helmets
including leather hairnet and hockey helmets for comparisons.  It also
gives tips on where to buy them, with a special note about childrens
helmets.  Price: Free.  Available from:

Washington Area Bicyclist Association
1332 I Street, N.W.
Washington, DC  20005
(202) 393-2555

(I can't say enough good things about WABA, a nonprofit lobbying
organization for cyclists, so I won't even try.)
