I believe, that helmets that pass DOT and the current Snell certifications are safe enough. That means most of HJC helmets qualify. I feel that buying the more expensive helmets is like buying a luxury car...you are buying more for comfort; whether it's lighter weight, better fit, more ventilation, or more aerodynamic. I'm not so sure that more money = safer in a accident.

so lighter...more areo dynamic.....quieter.......efficient.....would allow one to concentrate more on riding and what's going on around them instead of fighting the wind...dealing with wind balsting your ears.....etc. hmmmmmm......sounds like a pretty good safety feature huh???

Something is going on. My friend picked up a new M2R helmet for very little money, and he loves it. He used to be like me, using only the two main Japanese brands, but he got this one just to try, and he raves about it.
So, I don't know, less expensive doesn't mean its not a good product. But I had to get an X-11 anyway, in Europe they're called the X-Spirit. lol Great lid, but I'm guessing much of the price goes toward the cachet of the brand.
Whatever you do, don't pay full price for a helmet. I sniped my Shoei for $399, down from $692, free shipping...oh yeah, I'm still chuffed about it
