It‘s not the price! E.g.: While I do love the design and vintage look of (expensive) Davida helmets they are not comfortable for me.
$$$ helmets do not guarantee a good and comfortable fit but usually they are much better than the other stuff.
An experience of Arai, Shoei or Schuberth helmets makes it hard to go back to budget producers.
