does a good helmet breaks during crashes or does it need to be intact or unbroken after the crash?

I believe it should break para di na natin pilitin gamitin :) Kasi pag may malit na crack or scratch we feel na sayang naman pwede pa. IMO if you encountered an accident and you hit your head on something (malakas or mahina) di na worthy for use yun helmet better pang display na lang yun :D

a helmet will break once it crashes.by this,it will absorb the impact that is supposed to be...... for your head.

It should break in a significant crash.

a good helmet is one that has passed one of the helmet safety standards (Snell M, JIS (Japan), DOT (US), SHARP (UK), etc.)

Simple...buy from authorized dealers.

Motoworld, Jt Triumph are the authorized dealers of branded helmets that I know of. I am sure they wont risk their names selling fake helmets.

most authentic helmets uses double o-ring

Eh mga pafs, yung double d-ring o double o-ring db nakastrap yun?? pano kung di-pindot yung lock machenism nya?? ibig bang sabihin nun eh low class or worse fake??

Sabi sa post eh MOST authentic meaning kadalasan, not meaning na kapag hindi D-ring eh di na original.

Caberg 407 alam ko di D-ring ang strap. Pero original naman siya and ece certified. While Yun Spyder helmets D-ring naman ang strap pero medyo kaduda duda ang certification. :o

sir question po regarding sa helmet i read that DOT approved helmet should have the DOT sticker logo on the back of the helmet. i bought a zeus zs-2100b at motoworld wala naman po syang sticker ng DOT.?
All Zeus helmets are SNELL, DOT, ACU Gold and ECE 22.05

Conclusion: The price or brand of the helmet does not necessarily mean its the best protection for your head. ;)

pansin ko lang pag substandard na helmet.. yung strap pa lang panget na.. pati yung metal na buckle mAgaspang saka parang madaling kalawangin.
kadalasan ung pinaka conector ng strap made of plastic
ung face shield madaling magasgas o kaya lumabo.

Kung sa Motoworld mo binili helmet mo eh have a peace of mind dahil di naman nag bebenta ng fake ang Motoworld.
