I have a half-shell with a removable visor. The visor tends to catch the wind and pull the helmet up, so I don't use it.

I use a non-dot beanie most of the time but sometimes wear a full face if it is cold. I feel really claustrophobic in a full face though.

I have the Harley half shell with visor as well. Usually though it's the Head Trip non-DOT. And the spankings begin........................ NOW!

Suomy Vandal. It's a full face with pin-up girls on it. I keep thinking I'll get another flip-up, but think I may get a new Bell Star or Shoei X-12 next, in flat black. Also thinking about a Bell Drifter for around town.

Most of the time I wear my Shark Evoline modular FF, but just recently picked up a Bell Street Steel B-24 in matte black for short 'just around the block' type trips.

I've been shopping and comparing for a few weeks now, and that's the lowest profile, least "mushroomy" looking halfer I've been able to find. I looked at the HCI Polo, but it was still more "spaceballs" than the B-24.

Outlaw DOT skull cap. It's about as small a DOT half helmet as you can find these days. Keep pulling it down tight over your noggin and you can eventually get it to where it's sitting properly. I've got a couple of other half helmets, too... Bell and Bikers Choice skid lid, but the Outlaw is by far the smallest.

Just bought a HD Hybrid Ultra Light Spoiler in matte black to replace my Vega half helmet and really like it so far.

Also have a Scorpion EXO-100 that I also like. Prefer the HD Hybrid due to the light weight of it.

All three half helmets have the visor but I've removed the visor on all of them this makes them more comfortable to wear as you don't get them trying to lift up off your head.
