ahh.. helmet.
Any good suggestion for newbies which tight on budget? Affordable but worth it and its a full face type. LOL
Rm200 and less?
for ff helmet, you can find DOT and ECER certified for around rm200+. but those are from china brands (MHR, LS2)
but don't look down on them, even the china brand HJC (starting from rm300+) is used by Ben Spies (his replica helmet is avalaible, and is made in taiwan for rm 1,000+)
the most significant differences between a 200+ and 800+ or even 2,000+ helmets are the level of comfort
weight - the lighter it is, the better for your neck and shoulders
liners - washable, comfortable, climacool, bla bla bla
vents - many many vents
noise - very low noise intrusion
visor - anti fog, anti scracth, built in sun visor, pin lock, etc etc
design & shape - comfort (internal) & aerodynamics (external) and also look (overall)

does Bell cheap? Or, there's a copy of Bell around?
Bell is mid range price, just like Nola, AGV, and some other european brands (bar Schuberth or X-Lite). Prices range from 700 - 1,000+
the expensive ones are from japanes manufacturers - arai & schoei. cheapest ff also 1,800+.
design wise, of cos arai & shoei is a class above the rest. but that is just my personal experience lar
i only get a mid range price ff helmet to be used every day. why buy 2k helmet if you go to pasar have to put the expensive helmet at the counter, and risk it get scratched (or worse, stolen?)
