Welcome and like Freakinout said make sure it is DOT and Snell approved and fits right plus feels comfortable. The majority of the high dollar dot and snell helmets are not safer than the much cheaper dot and snell approved helmets, usually just a better paint job. But comfort is very important. And ekinnee that is a good suggestion, find a good dealer or shop to get known in because they do take care of there repeat customers, because there is always stuff you need from them.
