Schuberth C3. No buffet. It's quiet, relatively light, and it will keep the wind from coming in around your neck. Great for the cold. A little too warm though for summer around here (desert). Pricey. But worth it.
+ 1 Shark Evoline. Especially like being able to flip the chin bar all the way to the back making it a 3/4 helmet. Also like that I can lower the internal sun visor to any level. Often I want the sun visor down enough to block the sun but still be able to see under it... on my other helmets the sun visor is up or down. All modulars are bigger and heavier but it's a trade off for features.
I have a Fulmer and it's a good helmet, but a bit noisy. I'd like the spring tension on the visor to be a bit stronger, I've had it pop up before, but that was on a Dyna with a smaller windshield and more turbulence.
I just purchased a Nolan N43 Trilogy and I'm glad I did, the versatility of this helmet is amazing. Light weight and functional, I bought this helmet for the Texas winter, where it can get pretty cold for my early morning commute, but very nice for the afternoon and I can adjust this helmet for any condition. As stated before the field of view on this helmet is superb and much greater than my Fulmer. I can actually hear quite well in this helmet as well. My favorite feature is the ratcheting chin strap, no more rumbl'n-bumbl'n-stumbl'n just trying to get the thing secured to your noggin.
