Not all bike helmets.
Posted by: kybishop on Oct-23-12 9:29 PM (EST)

There are more than just the typical foam bike helmet with the thin plastic shell. There are bike helmets that are made to take multiple hits. Nutcase is one, they make all sorts of helmets for water, bike etc. Off road mountain bike helmets are made to take more than one hit and done.

Nutcase is just one example. Fox, Bell and Bern are other hard shell bike helmets that are made for the long haul.
