Had pretty good luck with a couple of HJCs...they fit my big noggin nicely. Ordered a new CL-16 to replace my 5 yo fullface. Nice hat but seems a bit snugger than the older models. Maybe my head's just getting fatter.

Been riding with seven zero sevens for a few years now. The newest one that I bought seems to ventilate better than any I have ever tried. Downside, it is noisy.

I wear the Real G-Force helmet
As far as I know, it's the only DOT certified helmet made in Thailand. It goes for around $70. It's very comfortable, although I wish it was better ventilated especially for this type of weather, where it gets really hot.

I've been wearing SHOEI RF-1000's, had two and really like the fit, features and quiet ride. Makes me want to wear it, and feel bullet proof when I do. Lost a base plate screw for the shield fixing, and nobody seems to want to sell me parts for it anymore.
So I just bought a new RF-1100. One ride, so far, and she's just as good.

Ever been smacked in the face by a bird?
Usually a Shoei Multitec full modular for me.
Sometimes a HJC 3/4 with full shield.

Yep. 
And acid water from wet roads in the eyes. 
Bird that hurt like hell and almost knocked me off the bike.  (though the impact would have had just as much "punch" even if it hit a face shield)
Puke from a passenger in the car in front of me.  (following too close at speed).
And BUGS in the teeth!  (Did I mention bugs in the teeth!?)
Have YOU ever had the wind in your face and your hair blowin' in the wind? 
Too bad.

Do you know ANYBODY who's ever hit or been hit by a car while on two wheels?
Usually a cage with air bags and seatbelts for me.
Sometimes a Tractor-trailer without air bags.

Well I did T-bone a Rambler back in '71. Don't remember what I had on my noggin (probably Bell), but I left a nice sized dent in the roof of that wagon - before I bounced right back into the saddle.
That skull rattler could explain a lot....
