Decided on the Gringo S from Biltwell.

Was worried that it would be too hot but, so far nice and cool without vents.
Very comfortable, lite on the head, and great field of view.

Highly recommended!

I have just the regular gringo and I swear by it. I would like to try out the bell bullitt as well but my gringo does a great job.

I have the Bullitt and my wife has the Gringo S. They are both nice and pretty dang similar. The Bell has better fit/finish - but it also costs over twice as much. Can't go wrong with either IMHO. The Bell has more safety ratings I think? I get a good bit of wind noise with the bell - can't speak to the Gringo.
