Think your badass $800 helmet is so much better than everyone else's... Turns out, some of the are crap and some of the cheapos are actually quite good...
Example:
$112 helmet - http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/testsratings/lazer-lz6
$792 helmet - http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/testsratings/bell-m5x-carbon
Obviously venting, fitment, weight, bells & whistles notwithstanding, it's pretty clear that you don't always get what you pay for in terms of helmet safety.
