$40???? i am not the kind of guy who buys that Shoei salesmans line about "if you have a hundred dollar head, buy a hundred dollar helmet", but i do believe that there is a minimum price point where you don't have a helmet anymore but just a plastic shell that looks like it would protect it.
isn't that DOT qualification just a self policed standard and not actually tested my any third party? see where my mind is going? (shut it Mel

)
