Can someone tell the what the big difference between a $699 and a $69 helmet are? Both are DOT certified..

the expensive one was wind tunnel tested.. and some other things I don't suspect that will be an issue for me on a KPX250 Lifan.. I plan to do more off road, trails and just on street to get to them. or going to local store to pick up stuff which might be the most dangerous thing to do..


Not wanting to cheap out on good helmet but not sure where to look for quality at good price. looking to get bike in the oct time frame and doing my homework on good stuff to wear..

Raced MX in the late 70's into the 80's in HS and had a helmet with snap on bill, goggles and rock guard we wore outside a t-shirt (summer in NC) and jeans with MX boots.. don't ever remember having actual MX pants to wear..

have been reading all the recommendation ..

Green helmet is amazon $69..
White is $699
