That brings up another topic...

How much is too much, or is there such a thing? The first, and only helmet I have is an ARAI Quantum II. I walked into a bike store, they were having a half off sale, and I needed a lid. I think I walked out of there paying about $500 Cdn. A friend wears a HJC that he paid $250 or so. Both do their job, but by paying more, do I get more protection? I have been doing some research and the Shoei Multitech seems like a winner, but at the $600+ Cdn they are asking, can I justify that? There is nothing more important than my noggin, but again, is 600 going to protect me more than the 250 range?

What do you think about a) Shoei Multitech and b) do you get what you pay for with safety, or are you paying for fit & finish?
