$10 helmet for a $10 brain....
confused:I just looked at a couple of these on ebay and actual cost appears to be around $40 once a size is entered.
Although I personally prefer Shoei or Arai if these helmets really are DOT approved that's a good thing for potential new riders.
Sourcing from low-cost producers lowers the cost barriers and makes it easier for them to get started. Klim status can come later.
That philosophy can be applied to motorcycles as well as safety gear. It doesn't have to be expensive to be fun or safe.
Interesting data on helmet cost/safety:

The fake D.O.T. Stickers used to be in this price area
When I replace my neotec I will probably spend $10 to get one of these show the wife the ad and the helmet, show her a neotec 2 ad she will ask is the neotec way better I will say yes but I am saving $700 she will say I am a dumb ass buy me the neotec 2 for my birthday present ( neotec 2 out early April birthday end of march ) and in the end I will have a new helmet and one to take apart, other option if she reads this I might end up with $10 helmet placed where the sun don't shine. Sometimes you gotta take chances in life.
