One of my favorite quotes from a wall of helmets on display at a bike shop many years ago "We have helmet's priced from $15 to $350, if you have a $15 head buy a $15 helmet...."
Definitely need to try them on to get something that fits right, there are different shapes of heads. When I used to race motorcycles, Arai helmets were comfortable and fit me great, and Shoei did not at all, nor did Bell.
I wouldn't buy a helmet that wasn't Snell approved then and I wouldn't now either.
