When you guys post up that Im wrong... I wanna know why.

I completely agree with you regarding the fact that all helmets in the US have to meet a requirement. But that's also a minimum requirement. Similarly compared to car accident testing. One vehicle may "meet the minimum standard" but it won't be getting a 5 star rating, or whatever bs they want us to believe.

But if you don't believe me, go and look at the differences between the helmets. Look at the difference between the cheap GIRO and the top end one.

I know when I bought my GIRO Havoc it was actually LIGHTER than the top model in the MTB line (both MTB helmets) So I was thinking to myself, this one is $99 and the top one is $149 and they both fit the same? So I was like whatever. But mine was missing some of the "technology" Mine is like an 01 so I won't compare what mine has cuz Im sure the new one is far superior now.

But Im not getting what you guys are telling me Im "wrong" about.

1. Higher end helmets provide more features to enhance safety?
2. That cheap helmets use cheap materials?
3. Or that the secondary impact is the one that most likely will ruin your day?
4. The best helmet is the one that fits you properly?
