The price reflects the quality in this matter. Mind you R&D aren't cheap tho. I ride with a Shoei because its light but from experience I know the Arai to be very safe and comfy, the best available IMO. The materials are different too, multi layers for japanese and some euro production, injected plastic for many others. I wouldn't buy a cheap helmet because I've only one head and, as you, would prefer to ride with a good car helmet than a 30 quid bike homologated crap. I pay much more for my gloves…
