I slid into a KBC mate. Fits well. Wind noise isn't too bad and is comfy... Came out at around $350 after a bit of discounting.
Agree with the boys, try a few on in your budget and see what feels right

Re: picking a helmet
The more ventilation they have, the noisier they are. Just start wearing earplugs and you'll be right.King Nicholas wrote:I just upgraded from my Shoei XR1000 to an XR1100.
I was surprised that, with the new model I wear a size smaller, a M, so I don't have a big head!
I fits even better but it is noisier, something I only found out after trying it on the bike.
Not happy really but if that's the worst problem I have, life is going well.
