Cheap motorcycle helmets

I see many customers come in the shop wanting a cheap motorcycle helmet. I do my best to explain to them to the difference between a cheap helmet and the more high end motorcycle helmets. When I say cheap I'm talking people who want to spend $99 to save their life.
Are all motorcycle helmets created equal?
No, they arent. I believe the bare minum you should spend on a helmet to be $200 and spend it on a name brand. Most of the helmets in that price range offer good protection as well as a few other features. I personally wont wear anything sub $400.
The more you spend doesnt always mean more or better protection but it does mean more comfort and more features. The cheap motorcycle helmets usually have harsh liners, a generic fit and poor venting. Add that to poor lens clarity and lots of wind noise and you have a $99 helmet that you wont wear because it's an uncomfortable sweatbox.
Spend the money, step up to a high quality, slightly more expensive helmet and you'll find that you wont notice your wearing it. You will be comfortable, you will be cool from the better venting and you will be far safer.
