How are you you wearing out your helmets?
In rapidly approaching a half century of riding, I have NEVER banged my head in a crash.
I've had a few helmets just wear out, or go obsolete. Or, have those pads disintegrate. So, I'm not still using my old skid-lid.
Anyway, a cheap helmet seems good enough for my needs.
