Arai most recently, and not reluctantly.

I like Shoei too.

AGV, although I have an ARAI that's pretty decent.

Maybe you need to try an AGV. They are lightweight, quiet, vent well and pretty comfortable once they are broken in.

I have wanted to try one really bad...but unfortunately I live in the middle of freaking nowhere, and have been unable to try one on. A few months ago, I scoured hard for one, and could find one close to test fit...

It's quick release is real quick, but it's not "normal", ie not as intuitive.

I have only own a arai. I thought the quick release system was pretty slick. I have not seen other manufactures though.

Icon Alliance

which I will be changing up for either KBC or EXO-700. Probably the latter as I've heard it flows better.

Re: What brand helmet do you wear?
Suomy. incredibly light and vents really well. I don't know if its just the helmet or my glasses with the helmet but I get a lot of air flowing up from the bottom and into my eyes. It can get a little annoying at times so I think I might try something else next time possibly an AGV or Arai.

Re: What brand helmet do you wear?
Shoei RF-1000 right now. I love the venting and the fit, and the shield system. little noisy but once I get off my butt and buy the chatterbox I have been planning on the noise shouldn't be an issue anymore if the inserts fit and get rid of noise like the company says they do.
