I'm not much into helmets other than they meet some crash rating somewhere and hopefully are cheap as hell but last weekend while doing a high speed pass of a transport I had the visor up and it ripped clean off! I've already lost two contacts trying to make due with sunglasses in the broken one and wearing a size too large spare i've got kicking around. I'm doing a road trip before I have to leave for work (no more biking for a while) and will shop around. I'm thinking HJC carbon at this point but that will depend on what doesn't give me a raging head ache from the jaw crush. Something about shopping for a helmet bothers me.
