if you treat them right and don't crash, they can last a long time.
over the years, I've spent WAY more on tires than helmets. compared to groupsets, wheels, etc the cost of a lid is just in the noise...

BUT, if the helmet you try on fits really well, looks good but is only $100..would you pass? This idea that a helmet needs to be expensive to look good and fit well is not accurate. Particularly the 'look good' part, which is subjective. POC as an example.
I wear a Mavic helmet, $90..fits great, cool, not expensive.
And uber light helmets, even tho they pass the CPSC guide lines for crash worthiness, may protect your head not as well as a 'heavier' helmet.
For right below.....Kinds like unscented toilet paper..costs more.
