Do expensive helmets really protect your brain better? That is a question that has been asked and answered many times, and if you believe if you have a $100 head by a $100 logic fine. Many studies have found not much difference in protecting your brain in a violent crash. What is the difference, noise? venting? style? status? Wind resistant to lift? The shell on most DOT helmets protect about the same, the lining can give a slight advantage. I not claiming to be a expert, but find a helmet that fits, and be happy.
A $600 helmet by many experts does not protect your brain any better then a less expensive helmet in many violent crashes any better then a good DOT helmet that cost much less. I helmet does not stop the brain from moving inside your skull, but it can cushion to a degree. Yes for the sake of arguments I am a idiot, and I do ride with a $400 Shark Evoline because I like the way the chin goes behind the head. If I found a $100 helmet similar I just might make that my next one.
