So i was riding quad the other day wearing my new helmet (1st time out) and i rolled the quad diving into a ditch. I got pitched off and the quad tumbled over me. A day later i was looking around my helmet cause i thought i seen a scratch on it. Come to discover it was busted already!
So my question is are any helmets better than others with the exception of carbon fiber? It says snell approved and DOT on the back like all helmets but i am wondering if certain helmets arent as durable. I was suprised as i didnt think it was much more than a typical roll over but it must of been worse then i thought. . With the exception of better padding and graphics and ventilation why such the price difference in helmets. Seems to me they have to meet safety standards anyways and if you do happen to get in a wreck, graphics and comfortable padding or not its gonna wreck the helmet. My take is buy a middle of the line helmet and go. At least if crash and break it you wont be out as much money. After that accident im sure glad i got the $125 helmet over the $220 509 helmet!
By the way, the helmet i was wearing was an HJC, i thought that company has always made good helmets .
