That looks interesting. And I certainly would like to have bought extra pads, but Bell doesn't make replacement pads for my bottom-end helmet (surely they would prefer customers throw helmets away and repurchase). And as cheap as that helmet was ($20 or so?), I can't see the value in paying 2x--10x to get a model with replaceable pads. (For that matter, I can't see the value in paying more than about $20 for ANY helmet. How much better can a helmet be?)
