What Makes A Good Helmet?

I'm looking at buying a new helmet sometime. I've been riding in the same helmet after 2 concussions. :cry: I know, I know, it's not safe, and I'm trying to replace it. BUT, since I don't know if I should buy a cheap helmet or an expensive helmet, I'm going in the middle and buying a $150-$200 helmet. :thumb:

buy that $90 helmet from the review, cuz it ranked #1

Bell Products and R&D Facility Videos

I know James already bought his Bell, but ran across this and thought it would be good to share:

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. — Tucked away in the hills of Northern California Bell Helmets is quietly developing class-leading helmet technology for motorsport athletes and the general consumer alike. A trip to their state-of-the-art facility would show the extent to which they strive for excellence in safety, fitment and design excellence. While a trip to Bell may be within reach for those in the Bay Area, the rest of the country may need a better reason to head west, for that very reason Bell is excited to announce and launch a series of videos outlining the technology in their current line of helmets, shields and R&D Facility.
