Heh heh sorry, for me there's no "helmet vs no" issue because I had to wear helmets all the time. As for low-quality, I didn't want to offend your helmet :). What I mean is that usually helmets that you paid for around 600-800rmb (in my homecountry) started to wear off after one - two years of usage. Visor started to be heavy to use, paint was wearing off, the same with liner. I'm talking about everyday usage, since even if you wanted to drive 2km to shop, you had to wear a helmet - and police was serious about that.
At the same time, HJC helmets are cheaper here that in my country - while other brands, Suomy, Shoei etc are way more expensive. So I'm kind of confused why :)
