I have been convinced by the experts that the helmet is something you should never skimp on. I was shown how some helmets meet the government standards, but don't go much higher. Arai is one that goes far beyond standards, though.
I was asked in a very straightforward manner: What is your brain worth to you? Is it worth a couple of hundred dollars more to make sure that if you do hit the pavement, that your brain stays protected? I bought an Arai at a very good price.
Estimate that if you don't hit the pavement, a good helmet will last 5 years. If you spend $500, that's $100 per year. You spend far more than that on insurance. A good helmet is just another aspect of insurance.
That's my two cents...for what it's worth.
