Largely depends on your head shape.

I hate shoei helmets, they give me a head ache and feel no better in quality than other brands.....yet many swear by them.

I prefer Nolans myself....wear what fits, and has a DOT approval.

Try it and if its too loud with windnoise etc. ask to return it within say 2 hours of buying it....many shops will allow that if its not like you used it a lot.

example I bought boots, and rode for a few hours, they were too damn stiff, so i returned them for a different pair no problem at all.
