Just go down to your local shop that has the best selection and try a few different helmets on. Different brands of helmets will fit your head different. Look for a removable/washable liner, and vents. Feel the foam inside the helmet. HJC is okay, but the foam is hard as a rock with just a slight layer of padding on top of it. I like some of the Oneil helmets. They have a bunch of different styles in your price range. I personally will never ride with anything less than a Shoei or Arai. It's amazing how much more comfortable and better built that they are. You should never "cheap out" with a helmet. Anyway...once you know the helmet and size you need, go to http://www.mps-shop.com/motoxtreme They have some great close-out prices on last year's styles/colors.

I have the SVS4 and I love it. The only way I see it would be worth more if it was lighter but I don't think there will be much difference.

Lots of good deals to be had on Ebay. This cost me $140 to my door. Usually $285. Super light and definately has the best graphics of any helmet out now.:cool:
