Z1R Jimmy in White with a clear shield Spring Summer and Fall
I used to obsess about finding the perfect Helmet, Course I didn't want to spend $300 bucks either and I noticed as the price went up I felt I liked the fit better,,, so the Jimmy it is and with some skill, luck and a level head when riding I wont ever find out how it does in the ultimate test DOT say's it should work !

Re:What helmet do you guys/gals wear? 8 Months ago  
HJC full face Modular(flip up front) helmemt with internal pop down sun visor (look just like what fighter jet pilots have) on sale last yr from i think it Competition Accessories @ 50% off for $150.

The flip front is great because if it get warm esp in slow traffic i can flip front up and put sun visor down to protect eyes if its not alreay down.

The sun visor is activated/put up or down from button on top of helmet and the flip front is put up and down using a kind of handle thats in lower front of helmet that you dont see from outside.

It also has vents you can open/close ,shield flips up down too,inside padding snaps in/out for cleaning too.

I like the feel of less confining std non full coverage helemets like many guys using here in RSC but dont relish the thought of my teeth/face grinding in pavement should i go someday which where the full face can do it's thing.

Been wearing full face helmets since i started riding bikes on the road in 1971,started with trailbikes in the woods as a kid in approx 1965.

I wear a brainbucket. I know it won't protect much but EVERY DOT helmet i have ever tried annoys the hell out of me. Man i wish there were a helmet that didn't look stupid and had adequate protection.... just haven't found any yet.
