I'm looking at a new helmet and have tried both the Alpinestars SM-10 and the Shoei VFX-EVO on and they both fit great. But, I'm having a tough time deciding between the two and need some help deciding, thank you.

To me the Astars helmets look terrible, sorry to crush that part of it.
Although! I say this seriously, it's what is on the inside that counts on this one, MIPS came about and seem to change things up a lot. ALL the major motocross helmet brands have most likely put in a lot of research that goes into passing the DOT reg and exceeding that regulation . 6D was pretty remarkable technology that started shifting helmet standards
I Had a Shoei helmet when I raced BMX and loved that thing, it was a troy lee edition blue and silver, MMMM miss that thing! Plus Motosport has the Shoei on sale !
Dollar wise go with the one that fits the bank account!.
Pit Row
I also bought their DH MTB lid and that again was by far the best fitting helmet I’ve ever owned (I’m nearly 50).
I’ve never “smashed” my head so I’m not too sure how they hold up in that regard.
This may give you some useful information on helmets if you’re having trouble deciding.
If like me you’ve known someone die from head trauma racing, a concussion is oftentimes the outcome you hope for.
