Here's a few pics with the Edsets.
A few things to keep in mind....They run big. I wear a Medium pretty much across the board, but I'm a Small in the Shark. They're also designed for round heads, I had to do a little surgery to the front foam to get it to sit comfortably. There's also no speaker pockets if you want to use a headset. I ended up pulling the foam out of the sides and drill pockets with a forstner bit.

I love my Shoei Qwest......better for harley riders.....venting designed for more of an upright sitting position than the Shoei RF1100 designed for the forward lean of a sport bike....
Many of the high dollar full face helmets from Arai and Shoei are designed for sport bike riders riding position.....this one is different...highly recommend....

As with most threads, the best one is usually one the author is wearing!
With that in mind, you might want to take a look at the Shark helmet. It was featured in Rider magazine during the last year. It's a very good FF, but converts to a true 1/2, as well. (That means no appendage on top of the helmet to catch the wind.) Also includes a flip-down sun shade. I've seldom had fogging problems with it.
It's just one option, but keeps me from having to carry an extra helmet.

I'm looking for a new Full Face...........I have a couple of ICON ones left over from my sport bike days but the schemes looks pretty goofy on a Road King lol....especially an orange one!
Scorpion 700 is a nice choice....fog free shield, replaceable lining and a nice flat back color if you choose so...and reasonably priced as well So that will probably be my next FF helmet
