I have listed ISI-certified Top 10 best helmets under 3000 Rs in this review. ISI-certified helmets are designed to handle high-impact crash energy and generally contain a layer of crushable foam. When you crash & hit a hard surface, the Thermo-foam part of a helmet crushes, controlling the crash energy and extending your head’s stopping time by about six thousandths of a second to reduce the peak impact on the brain.
Important Note: Make sure to read the helmet sizing chart before buying a helmet.
How to check ISI certification?
Indian Standards Institute (ISI), more appropriately IS 4151 is the certification that we find on most helmets in India. It is usually printed on the shell of the helmet. Check back, top, or side whenever you buy any helmet. ISI approval mark looks like the image given below.
