Now before you blow Nelly, - let me first emphasize that I WILL use the SHARP test results in future lid purchases.
And now to my point:
You have to remember that the SHARP test does NOT test aspects like wind noise, inner lining quality, weight etc.
It only test impact resistance in 22 predefined spots. Therefore its an impact test ONLY, - NOT a general helmet test.
IMO it's no-good to own a helmet that can take a hit from a small meteor if it waighs 5Kg, gives you permanent ear damage at 10Km/h and an inner lining that feels like sandpaper. The distraction alone will most likely make you crash.
Therefore the SHARP test results should be used alongside other test's, reviews and personal experience.
