Re: [ST] Helmet Recommendations for Headset

[Kevin.Dicks@xxxxxxx]

I think the point being made (and please correct me if I'm wrong) was that
you shouldn't pay more for Arai simply to get better protection.

Once a helmet has passed all the applicable tests, any extra expense is
only paying for comfort/fit/service etc. which is fine if you want to pay
it.  The phrase which says something along the lines of 'got a $10 head,
wear a $10 helmet' is a total crock - you pay extra not for more
protection, but for other factors.

Compared to what?  If I could find a helmet that was as comfortable, 
price be damned I'd buy it.. I've tried every Shoei, Shuberth, HJC, 
KBC, Scorpion, Vemar, Suomy, etc  And I haven't found any helmet that 
I can wear all day with zero discomfort. For my head Arai is it.. Are 
they expensive, yes, over priced...again compared to what?  I don't 
think saving a few bucks is worth being uncomfortable. Just My Opinion...
