After trying on a variety of helmets I ended up with a Shoei XR1100, it offered the best fit and to date I am very pleased with it, certainly the features are far more that I have ever experienced before with previous helmets. I like the ventilation system, the pinlock was awesome in the wet and cold during my run in period in the North Island and the range of accessories is good. The only negative I have is running a full tint visor means that in the evening and night I have to change to a clear unit. I did try the Shoei with the flip down sun visor but it wasn`t for me for a variety of reasons, so am going to try a half tint in the near future and see how that performs.
