as long as it fits... none of the entry level helmets fit me so i ended up getting the cheapest "pro" helmet, which sports a slightly narrower fit. it cost me like $400, but i'd like to think what is inside my head is worth more than that.
if he can get away with a $150 that fits right then by all means go for it! as long as it is certified it is just as safe as a $500 one. i'd also recommend you go for closed face... i'm not a fan of open-faced helmets for obvious reasons (my mug is too pretty to be bashed on a steering wheel).
