I've read that lots of people like the Scorpion EXO-1000. I went a little cheaper (EXO-700) and am sorry. I knew the helmet was heavier (only 50% Kevlar) and it doesn't have the sunshield. What wasn't immediately obvious is the deafening roar (and sometimes whistle) above 85 MPH or so. My next helmet will be a 1000, or perhaps another brand altogether.

I've got an Arai Corsair and love it. It's light enough compared to many of my other helmets that it's almost like not wearing one.

Remember "If you have a ten dollar head, were a ten dollar helmet".

In a much famed test by Motorcyclist (I believe) a $75 DOT helmet outperformed the "best" high dollar helmets in the most critical area of energy absorption.

That's funny, Bell was the originator of the "ten dollar" ad.

I have seen someone selling a plastic material you place over a clear shield and it was suppose to be transitional or self darkening. I thought it looked interesting; not sure how well it would work though.
