I have the HJC dagger. I really like it, but it gets kinda heavy on long rides. I am going to buy another for my wife as she likes it to.
Hope that helps

We're talking about heads here. how much is your passenger's head worth?
personally I will feel really unconformable that I have a $600 helmet and my passenger (That is my responsibility ) has a $80 helmet. So why not step it up a bit and go to the $100 range, the bell vortex is an awesome helmet for the price, snell and dot approved. |

I would personally go with a Scorpion EXO-400 or 700. On closeout they can be had for $70-130 but are definitely worth way more.

I do agree that, just from a pure comfort/weight standpoint, looking for an Exo-700 would be great if you can find one on closeout. I've found my last two for $80 and $99 respectively and they are extremely light for a "budget" helmet. |

I have a Seven Zero Seven Vendetta 2 helmet which is like Cycle Gear brand but it is nice. Especially for the price. Snell and DOT approved. http://www.cyclegear.com/eng/product...met/web1006333 It cost $140 dollars but is really nice quality. It isn't too heavy; my neck is never sore or anything. But it is my first helmet so I can't really compare it to anything. Take a look and see if you like it. If not. I would recommend the Bilt helmet for a passenger helmet. I have a Bilt jacket and gloves and really like them. And for that reason I would purchase a Bilt helmet for passenger usage.

I have a Scorpion Exo-1000 that I use with cameras, but it is available for a passenger.

These are a good value...
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...Closeouts.aspx I like my HJC ... The Bilt helmets I've looked at didn't impress me.

I've got a Scorpion 700 sitting on the shelf... wore it for about 3 weeks, until I could afford something really vented. The EXO700 just doesn't cut it, in hot weather.
