Helmets that cost silly money like £400 are just pointless. They do the same purpose in a crash as a £20 one (if its up to the UK regulations). So spending that much on a lid can't be justified in my opinion. I just buy a helmet that fits, one that'll stop my head from getting mangled in an off, but won't have me in a panic about replacing due to stupid prices.
Rather spend the money on other gear, like proper boots to save my toes when I'm skidding across the tarmac.

Not true, high end helmets have much better safety features then cheap helmets, I'd never see myself paying under £100 for a helmet! On one of my motocross helmets it had easy removal cheek pads which would pull out so the helmet would just slide of really easy with it pressing on the head or causing a strain on the neck, plus higher end helmets are usually a lot lighter than cheaper helmets and id rather have a light as I don't ride around with my leatt on

You also get a more ridgy body. For motorcrossing you get a more aerodynamic helmet.
Theres lots that you take for granted. Its the small things. Make a big difference when racing.
You also pay that premium for a helmet no one else has got.
Its like owning a dt. You could have a kmx. Pretty much does the same thing just can pick it up for cheaper. But you instead payed a premium to own a dt.
I was just curious as to weither you maybe or not non drinker/smoker & don`t believe in tats as in certain Christian organisations etc don`t condone these type of things
