Bottom line, the better the fit, the better everything else seems....noise, weight, aero, etc.

^^^ best advice there. Try out a couple of the ones we all suggest and wear it for 20 mins at a time, make sure its snug and doesn't put too much pressure on the forehead or sides. Helmets also break in differently as well, with most manufacturers if the skull fits but cheek pads are too big/small you can usually order a size up/down. My head fits a medium Shoei GT air but the 35mm cheek pads were TOO tight so I got a 33mm and it fit perfectly.

I think you have to find what fits your head. AGV lids work for me. Been using the GP Tech for a good few years now and will be getting a K5 very soon mainly for the flip down shade as I can easily get caught out with the black visor in.

One thing I love about my Bell helmets is the availability of the SolFX Transitions face shield. It gets dark in sunlight. It works really well. It gets dark enough to ride in bright sun without shades, and returns to clear in darker light. It changes quickly, and basically negates the need to switch between smoked and clear shields.

I have an AGV VR1000 the white, black & orange one. Its a fantastic helmet. I have also worn a bieffe which was good as well.

I have the frosted black (flat) Arai RX-Q helmet. I LOVE it. it has a locking windscreen, and a setting that locks it but allows a tiny gap for airflow. My Icon used to flip open if I lane checked in triple digits, and I realized i needed a new helmet. The quality is amazing, and very comfortable for my head. You need to go try some on as I'm sure others have mentioned. Arai and Shoei fit very differently. Also, removable pads/liners are great for cleaning. I'm the only one of my friends who wears a full face, and that's very OK with me! Good luck, and stay safe man.

If money isn't the deciding factor, then the Schuberth C3 Pro modular is one of the quietest lids out there. It's also a superb bit of a kit - kind of the Rolls-Royce of helmets.

Highly, highly recommended - go try one on. But remember that not all helmet brands works for all head shapes and sizes.
