LS2 for me because of head shape and wearing glasses with the shield down at times, but I do like the Pit Boss, just couldn't wear it for the two aforementioned reasons

Revzilla will let you order all three and return them if they don't fit

I’ve got a Scorpion EXO c 110 and a Bell Pit Boss. I reach for the Bell every time. There’s less buffeting with the Bell. The adjustable head basket keeps it on your head better. The neck curtain is great for cooler weather. For me personally, the Bell helmets have always just fit me better. If you wear glasses, either helmet will work well. That was why I originally bought the Scorpion over the Bell. Some of the reviews stated that the Bell wouldn’t work good for someone that wore glasses. After trying a friend’s helmet out I knew which one would be better for me.

My vote also for Bell Pit Boss.

The wife and I are each on our second one in 7 years. Awesome helmet.

She LOVES her shield and uses it a lot especially when we hit rain. However it is too close to my face and does not clear my glasses or sunglasses do useless for me.

I use the LS2 because it has the recessed shield and it has closeable vents to help keep you cooler in the hot weather.

I was looking at one of these type as well. I do not wear glasses. With the shield pulled down, does anybody tear up?

Daytona helmets makes a nice, comfortable helmet with a pull down (internal) shield, but it wouldn't fit over my glasses, so I opted for the HJC-IS Cruiser. It's a great helmet, but it sits pretty tall;mostly because of the internal visor. Any helmet with an internal visor it going to sit higher than a helmet without a visor.

I use the LS2 as well, I also apprciate the removable ear covers for when it gets cold. I have a very large head and find this helmet extremely comfortable.
