I'm a huge Shoei fan. I even converted my husband, who used to always wear AGV over.
More specifically, I'm a fan of the Shoei Qwest line. You can still find them, and score, they're all on clearance now.
Here's the one I picked up for him, it's the Airfoil graphic.
Here's the review:

It's not only Snell and DOT approved, but it has a 5 star SHARP rating. Also, I thought it just felt better than the RF-1100 that I tried on. Yes, I have one, but it's black with bright pink girly graphics, so I'll spare you guys the torture.
