Im all about spending money on quality. I spent around $300 on my scorpion sinister helmet a few years back. But when it comes to helmets its not all about the money for me. DOT approved is DOT approved no matter how much money you throw at it. So when Im purchasing a helmet, i'm looking for the amount of design ideas that go into it. Thats why I was saying that the Bell Rogue helmet didn't really look like it cost $250. Either way, I'm sure its gonna save my noggin!
