The two "big" helmet brands are Arai and Shoei. You'd expect to pay between £200 and £450 for one of these, depending on the style. They have cheaper styles, plain colours for around £200. Then they have the top end of the range for the £450. For this money you get a nice colour scheme, good ventilation, lighter construction. On the next level you have brands like Suomy, Shark and AGV. You might be able to find one of these for around £150 at the bottom of their range. Then there are lots of other brands too, like Bieffe, HJC, Nitro, Simpson, Roof. There's lots really. They all need to pass EU safety standards tests before they are allowed to be sold for road use. So they are all perfectly safe for protecting heads. Just that perhaps some are better than others. Certainly the more expensive helmets have better things like removable lining (for washing the sweat out), better ventilation (for less sweat) and less wind noise (for a more comfortable ride).
