Our 'Walmart' sells helmets for less than an hour's minimum wage.
I find it very hard to believe the non-wearing of helmets to be an issue related to poverty.
I wouldn't wear one if I was paid. So their use is very much subject to opinion.
It'd be interesting to see what charity shops think. I wonder if they're even allowed to issue them out past a certain vintage.
The foam goes hard and brittle, it's weird how people will attack cheap Chinese helmets, yet endorse an expired one that'd probably fail tests the Chinese ones pass...
