While you don't necessarily need to splurge on a $400 Shoei or Arai helmet, it's essential to choose a reputable source. Helmets from less reliable sources may have a mere "DOT" label printed on them without meeting the necessary safety standards.
Consider the following points:
Source Matters: Opt for helmets from well-known and trustworthy brands or authorized dealers. These helmets undergo rigorous testing and adhere to safety standards.
Certifications: Look for helmets with certifications. The Snell certification is the gold standard for motorcycle helmets, but it's not mandatory. Personally, I recommend helmets with at least an ECE certification, which ensures they meet higher safety standards beyond the basic DOT requirements.
Remember, your helmet is your primary defense against head injuries, so choose wisely. Ride safe out there! 🏍️🔒

When riding I always invested heavily in my helmet and tires.
Tl;dr - you get what you pay for, but in this case, you hope to never have to find out.
