Default 3/4 helmet suggestions

I currently have a 3/4 Licks NOVDOT. I like the thing for the most part, its light, pretty comfortable but without a bubble shield at 60-65+ I have a hard time keeping the thing from riding up my head. I basically had to crank the strap down where its uncomfortable on my chin.

One of the snaps came off the helmet today so the bubble shield won't stay on so I wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on a different 3/4 helmet that won't ride up as easily/often?

Biltwell Novelty or Bonanza? Any other brands? Thanks.

HJC CL-33. I never leave home without it. And the tinted face shield is great for day riding. But for night, it's a little dark but not impossible to see. But I rarely ride at night.

HJC is good for me, too. Tried a lot of others, but the HJC fits my head the best.

Check out Bell Custom 500. Decent quality and the fit works for me.

Bell Custom 500 is the bomb. Strap it tight and use the size guide (it will seem small but the helmet stretches in a week) and no ride up at freeway speeds.

After breaking both my feet on a yamaha R1 8 years ago I will never ride without a full face. my last one saved me(all i had was a small scrape from the helmet strap). if you don't like the ear pinch taking a full face on/off get a modular one(goes on and off like a 3/4). I currently use a HJC modular full face with a retractable shaded half bubble that comes down inside the helmet. works amazingly well for night and day and goes on and off super easy and then clicks into place. Another reason i wont ever go 3/4 or lower is a pic my aunt showed me from the ER of a guy who had his face torn off from a pickup hitch.

I know it may not be as "Cool" but hey take it or leave it I guess. heres the link to the helm i have: helmet

I have the daytona. No problems at speed with it rising up.

I bought the Bell Sena Mag 9. I also added the Sena Bluetooth module. The sun visor is removable.
