I bought a new Bell down at the local big box store. Highviz. True Fit. Fusion construction (mold-in-shell). Same CPSC as every other helmet. ~22USD.

If I 'kinda' pranged the $22 Bell, I'd replace it without a second thought. If a rider 'just sorta' whacked their new $270 Giro Synthe, well, the MFR sez they should replace it too, but I wonder if they would?
