Im confused why you would think that cost of purchase is more important than SHARP rating when it comes to measuring helmet safety.

Does this make you more interested in brands than functionality.

I use an iphone 5s, not a cheaper nokia as my fingers are important to me. It's higher cost means it must be better for my fingers

Not sure when it detoured to the lid judging contest, but I'll throw mine into the ring (not literally, probably render it unsafe...)

I had a BOX helmet, pretty good lid. Then I got a SHARK one, about double the price, better construction and crucially it doesn't steam up. At all. The BOX one did on a regular basis. So to me there is merit in spending more on a lid. SHARK one looks sharper too, FWIW.

I went from a £30 Box BX-2 that misted all the time to a £120 Shark S900, no misting (best lid for anti-fog IMO), quieter plus internal sun visor.

Conversely though I got a £330 HJC R-PHA 10 and that misted up like a bitch, was loud as hell and the visor mechanism requires two hands near enough to open, hated it and I would rate the Box lid for being a better lid (even on the Sharp ratings the Box is 4 star whilst the HJC is 3!).

Went back to Shark after that with a new S900 so I would rate them from best to worst as Shark -> Box -> HJC, price tag isn't everything.

*I do accept the HJC is meant for use on track hence being a bit lacking for road use but even on the track I couldn't stand it, prefer comfort and ease of use the Shark offers*

Realistically you don't need any gear or even a helmet at all if you don't crash.

I'm still working on that bit
