If you wanna explain how a $20 Bell helmet from Walmart will keep my head safer than this $20 helmet I like the looks of, I'll listen.
But there's no way you can convince me the $150 helmet is 7x safer/better.
The reason I went from knockoff #1 to knockoff #2, was (in addition to sweat-saturated pads), I was riding one of my favorite trails, named "The Tunnels", and I hit a stout branch so hard, it felt like my spine was being pushed down into my chest. The helmet cracked a little, so I replaced it.
