[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1055783, member: 8054"] I believe it was Motorcyclist magazine that did an extensive helmet test many years ago. I don't remember all the details, but do remember that their take was that even the cheapest $100 helmets provided good protection in crashes. The only thing that higher price helmets provide is more "features". I'm not bashing "features" because it's nice to have a helmet that has effective vents, a removable/washable liner, a shield that doesn't rattle or leak, etc. You just have to decide how much you can afford and whether you want to drive a Geo Metro or a Lexus. The Motorcyclist story: [URL="https://www.westcoastweasels.com/archives/PDF/Blowing_the_Lid_Off.pdf"]https://www.westcoastweasels.com/archives/PDF/Blowing_the_Lid_Off.pdf[/URL] And a pertinant quote: If you can't bring yourself to wear a $79.95 helmet just to get excellent energy management, you'll feel very comfortable with the Schuberth, which sells for $640 to $700.
