Theo, it's like motorbike stuff, you can get a cheapy polycarb
motorbike helmet, that passes the ADR, or a Shoei uberpricey carbon
fibre lid, they both pass the tests .... one's likely to be a lot more
comfortable than the other. If you ride a lot, it makes a difference.
You know this stuff ....

Yes, but I also face reality as to the alleged safety in helmets.

No-one said anything about the more expensive helmets being safer.
Just more comfortable.

On the bicycle I still
wear my "bought before the ASxxxx standard was introduced and therefore
illegal" Bell V1-Pro. It's also fairly comfy and I'm happy with the
hard-shell. I can't for the life of me see any safety or advantage in buying
a new helmet without a shell.

How is the padding and poly going?

Padding, as in the helmet.
