Price wise we talking (same helmet) Aus AUD$849 US AUD$429 delivered

That's exactly my point joe. I'm not too concerned with popo as my old helmet is ex US and i never got in trouble however my life is worht $1 million, I'm only concerned if I crash and die or end up on the wheelchair the insurance company won't pay out.

Technically I don't have a problem with the DOT/Snell approved US helmets as their approval/testing standards are on par if not higher than AS standards.

In the end I'll probably pay $849 to keep the insurance
