[QUOTE="tx246, post: 884261, member: 23127"] oh boy....this helmet stuff is a pet peeve of mine. the only problem i see with people buying expensive helmets is that they might not replace them when they should. it takes deep pockets to be able to can a helmet after a few knocks on it. people dont realize the damage a helmet takes to the inner styro on the simplest of impacts. i challenge yall to take a good look at the styro liner of the helmet that you are going to wear this weekend. most are painted black and impressions and cracks show up easily. those impressions are where your head was decellerated from simple get offs. from my understanding, its the liner performs most of the work in decellerating your head. my last helmet never saw me going over the bars at 40mph or running into trees. as a matter of fact most of the helmet trauma was generated by lowside crashes in corners. my point is that i would rather have a fresh middle of the road helmet than an old top of the line helmet that should of been replaced but wasnt because of money. for those of you who can say you replace your top shelf helmet at the first sign of liner damage, carry on, but those of you who cant honestly say you would replace it might consider the above.
