Yeah, I have a fulmer 3/4 w/ a face shield. Very comfy. They make great helmets. I also have a HD 1/2 ... I rarely wear it any more. It's comfortable too but I got tired of grit & bugs hitting me in the face and if it's windy a 1/2 helmet feels like having a parachute tied around your neck at 70-80MPH.

I have this one, not exactly pure old school, but more of a modern spin on old school (if there can be such a thing). Real comfortable, and decent ventilation (you can take the face shield off real quickly and easily as well)...

Love those fulmer helmets... just afraid that if I buy one, I'll look like an egg-head.

I have a flat black 3/4 Daytona Cruiser helmet. It was the cheapest old school looking 3/4 helmet I could find. I had to massage the foam insides a little since my head is more oblong than round but it fits good now and has the needed DOT sticker that a Biltwell doesn't have.

I've got the Fulmer 255 in gloss black, their designation 005, and it's one of the most comfortable and best fitting helmets I've owned in since I started wearing a helmet. Highly recommended BUT as with any helmet you need to try it on for size before buying. I also have a Vega half helmet that I wear around town but the Fulmer is what I wear when on the road or when the weather is cold.
