Simple case mate of..."you get what you pay for"

900 & 1200 Baht for a helmet...?

If you pay circa 10,000 Baht up to 20,000 baht then you have just rights to complain

But you can get a good helmet for 5-8K Baht

For 900 and 1200 Baht if they are no good just throw them to a couple of teenager kids you see riding with no helmets

Now I have a nice HJC, I cant remember the price but was medium range and a great helmet, 2 rocks thrown into the visor at high speed already by trucks and only a scratch and a small crack

My wifes HJC helmet about 50% less than mine (HJC Childs Series, being Thai the HJC adult range was too large for her)

But to show you the difference in $ v QA, a HJC visor will cost you more than you paid for your helmet

My last question is "how much do you value the most precious organ in your body...your brain" even a fall at 40kph can leave you brain damaged or worse

Think carefully mate, it is just not worth it to buy cheap helmets for yourself or any other person that gets on the bike with you

Cheers, ride safe
