[QUOTE="jmics19067, post: 682888, member: 27963"] I am not sure on helmets myself I mean if they are DOT and Snell 2000 certified is there any difference in protection? I believe that once you get above the certications you are buying light wieght and designer series helmets. Is there any truth to this? the wieght issue can be significant for your neck when pounding whoops or killer leaps but will it able to protect your head better in a crash? I know a fancy paint job won't help but how much different is the protection between a 100$ Fulmer or HJC helmet from a 600$ Shoei? Unfortunately I don't think we will be able to tell the actual Cost per Protection since once a helmet passes its certification it passes. Anything above that certification is not clearly noted <atleast not to me>. Having a heavy Acrilic helmet might offer the same protection as a carbon/kevlar one at a slow speed bike landing on you type of crash but the lighter helmet could be a serious benefit when having inertia working against you.I also believe since no two crashes and no two people are the same you can't really look at history as a deciding factor on protection. Just some random thoughts and the question" Is there any documentation on helmet protection once you get past Snell 2000?" [/QUOTE]
