+1 for nolan. I originally got a Bell rs-1 because of it's excellent reviews. Unfortunately it didn't fit my head very well. The nolan replacement is much more comfortable for me, and seems like it is good quality so far.

Dear Jim, Thank you for your email and interest in SHARP. The SHARP assessment is limited to helmets that can legally be sold for road use in the UK. Essentially, this means that all helmets rated by SHARP have already be approved to either UN ECE 22.05 or British Standard 6658. These standards include a requirement for the performance of the helmet to be evaluated at both high (50 +/- 2 degrees C) and low (-20 +/-2 degrees C). The SHARP tests follows recommendations made by the COST 327 Report, the most comprehensive study of European motorcycle accidents ever done. The report can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/roadsa...nal_report.pdf. While the report recommended more severe linear impacts than those used by regulation (advice that SHARP has adopted), no recommendations were made regarding testing at different temperatures. We hope this information is helpful, The SHARP team For updates about SHARP you may wish to consider subscribing to our email updates (to subscribe click on ‘subscribe’ at the top of the SHARP homepage) or follow us on twitter (@SHARPgovuk) and we will let you know when any new ratings are published. |

^ Good info. Also, IIRC, the ECE testing also simulates UV and other ozone exposure and humidity. It's been a while since I read through it though.

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: http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/shoei/qwest/ 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.

I really like the graphic on that lid . I really considered the Qwest before getting my RF1100 because of all the positive reviews on it. Similar shapes but I think the RF1100 fits just slightly more snug and better for my narrow to intermediate oval head.

Thanks for the advice all.
After reading y'alls take I also went by a local store and tried a few on, and did some online shopping. Ended finding a Scorpion exo-500 at a pretty decent price. Should be delivered today.

I see, when checking on the HJC IS-MAX modular that I am replacing that it scored 3 stars there. There scary thing is the info that the "Percentage of impacts where the faceguard remained fully locked" was only 40%. Yikes.

Well, assuming that 1. I don't go down on my ride home tonight and 2. The new helmet waiting for me at home doesn't have some sizing issue or defect requiring a return, then I lucked out with the hjc since I never actually had to use it. Also, as i was trying on helmets and looking into sizing, I realized that either I got a helmet that was a size too big to begin with, or else the years have really compressed the pads, because it is too lose on my head.
