No I'm not advocating having a fit. I'm saying that fit is the most
important thing, assuming you're buying a certified helmet (Snell,
DOT, etc.). It has to fit properly in order to protect you.
Expensive or not expensive, its gotta fit properly.

Note that more $$$, generally means less noise and less weight, more
than anything else.

!!! WHAT HE SAID !!!
More $$, generally speaking, means less weight, less flopping about,
and less noise, more than anything else.

Nah, I have to disagree. Last week I saw the new Shuberth helemt, it's
not worth the extra bucks over a Nolan N100. Sorry, more money does
not mean better although motorcycle companies and accessory makers
sure like those who think so.
