Most helmets on the market seem capable of protecting you, it's just a matter of the features you are looking for and a proper fit. One exception to look for.
Back in the early '70's certifications were becoming a thing. Most hats were DOT stickered, and Snell certified helmets were coming on the market. My golf instructor was a retired doctor from the UK, England at the time, who had worked with the Snell Foundation during their early testing....dropping helmeted cadavers head first down their 'drop shaft'....by analyzing the injuries. He convinced me to buy a Snell certified unit.
I went shopping for a new helmet that afternoon at my local Honda dealership, and asked to see a Snell certified unit. 'Snell is unnecessary and they're more expensive, all you need is a DOT cert...watch this'. He picked up a Snell hat from the display, held it straight out and dropped it upside down onto the concrete floor....it bounced nicely. 'Now, watch this one, it will do the same'. He dropped a DOT unit on the floor in the same manner....the top of the helmet caved in and had some significant cracks.
He handed me the Bell/Snell certified hat I had asked about and said nothing else. No DOT only for me.
Long story short....just buy something that fits snugly and has meaningful certifications.
