Unless you're one of those people that tries on helmets one place and buys on-line, I would suggest trying many and buying from your local supplier. Since you spend a lot of time with one on, make it the best fit. Shoei ? Love 'em. The "Vader" lid ? Yeah, Simpson. Looks cool but not a really great item. The budget line of Bell is now made by an Italian firm. I go for a fit that is somewhat tight ( I can feel myself smile) They loosen in time anyway. DOT and Snell are a must. When you try on a helmet, cinch it up and shake your head. If it moves even a slight bit more than you do, it's too big. If the next size down is too small, try another brand. A helmet is one of the most intimate items you'll ever wear. The cool looking ones with all the vents and such just add to the noise inside. I wear a Bell in warm weather and a high-end AVG when it goes below 60. The AVG color scheme is Ugly but it was the best fitting thing we had.

I'm needing to pick up a couple new helmets this year and I'm pretty seriously considering a Nolan modular. (I'm totally sold on the modular helmets!) Does anyone have a favorite helmet reseller? Obviously I would like to get the best deal I can. Thanks!
