I know that people follow the mantra that "how cheap is your head" but I don't buy into an expensive helmet = better protection. I mean....
...look at me. I am still alive and walking after bumping my head with HJC's.
Proof is in the pudding. :icon_wink:
I did read a study where there is not that much difference in protection from a medium priced and very expensive helmet in the case of a crash. However, a $150 half helmet may not be as effective as a $50 3/4 or full face depending on how you fall. I do know that my next full face will be the carbon fiber Vega---they weigh less than most 3/4 lids with full face protection.
