I've switched to a 3/4 from a police style. The wind on my ears is becoming more of an issue. I was using the ear flaps which took care of wind but they were wearing thin plus I try to get a new helmet every couple years or so. I like it other than on my Shovel without a windshield I get air in where my glasses go through. I put a old style flip up bubble on it and fixed that plus it helps a lot with shading the sun and living in Tampa Bay sun is a issue.
It's a AFX 76 Silver metal flake. SILVER and BLACK!
I wonder how the leather will be on yours as far as letting your skin breath?
" That was not the point of this thread, it was asking other users of the helmets listed to get rider feedback."

I'll throw my 2 cents in even though about everything has been covered. My go to helmet is a Bell Custom 500. I bought it on close out when the new 5 snap design came out. The old style Bell is to round for my head and left a red mark on my forehead. I took a hammer handle and massaged the forehead area. The helmet is now comfortable, my favorite thing is how lightweight it is. My full face Arai is a much is a higher quality helmet and safer helmet but I only wear it in the winter. The Arai fits great but I just don't like it except to block the cold air out. I will probably try a new Bell Custom 500 out for my next purchase.

The New Bell Custom 500, and Davida V3 both go back to the old 50-60 smaller cafe racer helmet look, but made out of better materials, and both are DOT approved. The Davida is heavier, and more expensive, but I do like the leather over man made materials... I will either be wearing a dew-rag, or one of my skull caps from my flying helmets until it cools off a bit.

My Shoei fits theMarvin the Martian, but it is very safe, heavy, hard to get on your head. but does cut the wind noise, and has vents to remove some heat,
