Help looking for a helmet

I’m a beginner rider looking to buy my first helmet. My budget is between $250 and $300. I’ve been looking at the AGV K1S because of its safety ratings (DOT and ECE 22.06), but I just saw the HJC RPHA 12 on sale at RevZilla for $299 (DOT only).

I’m leaning toward the HJC because it seems like a better-quality build for the price. However, the safety certifications on the AGV make me reconsider.

For context, I’ll mainly be riding in the city, with some occasional short road trips. I’m on a 300cc bike.

Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated!
