I only have been riding for 4 years just want some thoughts on low budget helmets. I'm not wealthy with a wife and 3 kids and 1 in college. My bike is just my once in awhile ride toy. I usually just ride with a helmet and gloves here in Florida. I have 3 helmets, 2 Hawk and 1 THH. The hawks were $50.00 and $90.00 and the THH was $90.00. The Hawks are DOT certified and the THH is DOT and Snell certified. Do you think these helmets are cheap garbage or good enough to protect my head during a crash. I can't see myself spending $1,000 to $5,000 for a helmet. One crash and it's gone. In Florida most riders don't even wear a helmet so I'm thinking these are better then nothing. What's your thoughts on low budget helmets?
