I was reading this article and I thought I'd share it for those who haven't read it. It looks like my next helemt is going to cost $100 and be the best all around protection. But, don't take my word for it, now read this...............................Motorcycle Helmet Design, Helmet Standards and Head Protection - Gear Box - Motorcyclist Online

I've crashed in cheap and not so cheap helmets. I'll be glad to pay the premium for an Arai :thumb:

I'm not saying Arai isn't good, or cheap helemts are better because they cost less. It's just a different theory on the best crash protection. It just so happens the best helmet they tested was $100. I'm not knocking Arai by any means.

Wasn't this discussed in an earlier thread?

Yes this is a repost, well sorta of.

Hello and welcome to last year.

That article has been hashed and rehashed and evidently since motorcyclist magazine derives a huge portion of their operating costs from the distributor of their "best" helmet, they forgot what a real helmet test consists of . . .

SNELL and BSI have both successfully debunked just about everything in that article.
