Is it worth upgrading the padding in my helmet?

I get this question quite a lot in the showroom when people are browsing and when they are buying a helmet

The padding that comes with a helmet is great, no doubt, but it’s main purpose is to make the helmet feel comfortable and to fit well

Last year Masuri added a product to their range of accessories called ‘Profoams’ 

The focus being to combine comfort with energy absorption. 

Heres a nerdy video to show the difference between the standard padding and the Profoams

It’s quite clear how much energy the ProFoam absorbs...
