As a previous poster noted, its a very head-specific thing, not even counting the type of helmet you want.....for me I couldn't deal with a full face so an Arai XC 3/4 seems to work for me....GL

I just purchased the Bell Rogue. I have to do some pad modifications to fit my head, but I think it will be all right once I trim out a couple of pieces.

I feel the same way. It's what I tell everyone when they ask me why I wear a full face. Plus I'd rather not get pelted at 80 w/ a bug on the highway.

Depending on weather and conditions I switch up between a Bell Pit Boss which is nice light and super comfy helmet and a HJC IS33 II 3/4 helmet that I just got a month ago for cooler weather and rain.
