Mid-Priced Lids - Helmet Heresy?
Mid-Priced Lids - Helmet Heresy? - Motorcycle Cruiser Magazine Online
It's true: With fit, features and safety, midprice lids offer a good bang for the buck

There's an old saying: "If you have a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet"-the implication being the more you spend, the better product you'll get. Of course most of us firmly believe our noggins are worth more than a tenner, but throwing cash around isn't necessarily going to get you a safer helmet these days.

It's easy to overlook the fact that in many cases an $800 helmet won't provide markedly better protection than a $200 lid with similar features. In the last several years a number of Asian-made brands have come online with lids that look and feel like the slicker models but at lower prices. That's partly because rapid advances in technology have resulted in better quality (especially in the midgrade helmet sector) and production efficiencies have driven down costs. But a low price on a piece of safety equipment can do as much harm as good. There may be the perception in a buyer's mind, for instance, that a product can't protect as well if it doesn't cost as much (see first sentence). And there's still occasionally shabby workmanship found in this segment-if you don't know what to look for.
