The more expensive helmets are for the features like being lighter, more aerodynamic, quieter and etc. I've never seen a helmet that is being advertised as the best helmet to be in if you crash. Paying more does not equate to safer. Here is an article about how a journalist got fired for supposedly posting the truth about how a $79 helmet did better than the $400 helmets. http://jalopnik.com/5582380/how-the-...urnalist-fired.

Here is the article he wrote

Of course this was written in 2009 so you can form your own opinion on it if you want. When I see an article that says a 2000 helmet can protect my head 10x better than a 200 helmet then you can go around saying you are right. Arguing over something like this is a moot point without evidence.
