After riding for a while without, myself and a friend have finally smartened
up and decided to buy helmets.  I am looking for recommendations and/or
warnings about the various helmets on the market.  Our criterion are
for selecting a helmet are safety first, followed by comfort and price.
Looking at the Bike Nashbar catalog I saw two possibilities - the
Bell Biker II (about $32.00) and a Vetta (about $20.00).  From the 
catalog descriptions, these two sounded about the same - is there anything
good about the Bell (or bad about the Vetta) the makes the Bell worth
the extra bucks?  What other helmets should I consider?  Are there any
articles in biking magazines reviewing articles?  

Thanks in advance.
