Default Helmets Once more

Just got my Leather Up Half Helmet and it's THE ONE!!!

Now I want to replace my full face with a 3/4 that I can put a shield on. Just for these cold days. Looked through some threads but cant tell what seems to stand out. Looking for advice on the smallest/least Martian like 3/4 that is still DOT. Stupid Virginia Requirements...

Thanks for your suggestions.

p.s. 1/2 helmet..small..DOT..Leather Up : )

Maybe I missed it in an earlier post, but I am too lazy to look for it.

Look cool, I've been eyeballing a few of those outlaw helmets at leatherup. Specifically the carbon fiber ones...since they seem wicked light, but it seems the ones like you have are still wicked light. Wanna snag a pair, a black one for myself, and they have a black one with pink butterfly design on them for my wife.

Did you try on a few at local dealerships just to check type/size for comfort? Or just wing it with the head measurement?

I did both. I measured my head to see where that lined up with size charts as well as testing a few on at the dealer to see if that fell in line and it did.

Do the Biltwell DOT, Bell 500 or Fulmer V2 have the goggle strap on the back like the Davida does?
