I was about to post up the fact that SNELL is a rating with mandatory testing and should be used. Cuong beat me to it :P

What I was getting at is the fact that a decent reputable helmet, regardless of cost, will still provide protection. That was before I was nit-picked to death about some worthless half helmet that only a moron would put on their head.

However, if we want to be nit-picky, even the half helmet when placed upon the head will protect said head from injury. Yes? ERGO, it will do it's job (though not to the standard we would like). Would I wear one? Hell no. Do I think the OP should wear one? NOPE. Do half-helmets have anything to do with the OP's thread? Again, no. BOTT.
