The problem is, that helmets are a more-or-less disposable commodity.
$1500 isn't the problem. It's $1500 every YEAR or two, and more often if you drop it, leave it in the sun, ride a lot in severe sun or heat. That could work out to be over $100 a month each riding month, permanently.
I like the idea. I don't like the idea that people would want/need to keep it long after it was deteriorated or otherwise past it's USE BY date.
