If Arai, Shoei, schuberth etc spend 100s of thousands on developing, testing and proving their helmets are safest as well as the top racers wearing them for the track surely you can see it's got to perform better whatever standards the cheap lids might scape through.

Your decision obviously
our eldest had a van pull out in front of him, the result has left him paralysed, he wrote to Shoei asking if they wanted his helmet for examination or as an example with a big crack in it , all he had was a slight headache, amongst the broken vertebrae, they replied, they didn't need it as they know their product is good. he still has it until the legal investigation is over . I would doubt a helmet a fifth of the cost would have given him as much protection
