Helmet Quality

El Diablo · 07-02-2008, 12:09 PM

Helmets seem to run the gambit on price but at what point does the safety quality max out and the bling begin. I'm guessing the difference in a $100 range helmet and a $200 range is probably graphics, weight and comfort although I can't imagine it can be much different in terms of protection. $300-700 helmets, what in extra mullah getting you in terms of Safety? Anyone care to weigh in? O_o

Check out "totalmotorcycle.com" for some helmet reviews. They also have a lot of info to ponder about features, materials and fit. Weight is also a factor and they do that as well. A short time ago I got a new helmet from New Enough and shelled out $100 bucks for it on clearance. If I get tired of it in 2 years I can afford to throw it away or make a planter out of it.
