I was trying to point out that just because something is new from a store doesn't mean it is good, just like something top of the line but 5 years secondhand probably isn't a smart buy, but nevermind, you're on rails with your point of view....
Anyway, OP doesn't seem retarded (always a bonus) so I'm sure they'll be fine, other wise each to their own...but I would rather a good hardly/not used second hand helmet off trademe than some of the shit you can buy new for the same price.
You know Tazz,
you seem hell bent on misquoting, twisting or simply transposing what is said to suit your own argument. No one has said that just paying $300 is an automatic good buy, and I believe the OP doesnt need this type of torpedoing of information.
The advice has been to get knowledgeable help, Drew has in one post given her more help than your 'missile firing' at Triumph girl.
She is NEW (OP), so S/hand lids is not really on her agenda unitill she has experience, surely? A good one like an LS2 is a reasonable start. Yes some cheap helmets DO rate better than expensive ones in the SHARP testing. But there is comfort, shell size, how the inner is constructed, long oval, round, more 'square' etc. No point buying ill fitting, noisy or one that may score well, but is cheap n cheerful in its fittings and fixtures?
