HCI Jockey style helmet. Fits really nice and beyond the "bill" of the helmet it doesn't catch any wind becaus it is thinner. On top of that, i think i payed 50ish$ for a great looking comfy DOT helmet (has to be DOT in our state).

As a side note... if you want the option of being able to bring a helmet back because you don't like it then buy from Cyclegear. THey give you seven days to bring a helmet back. I have bought so many helmets because 99% of places sell you a helmet and once you go out the door it is yours. Then after riding in it for 2 hours with wind pressure on your head you find you have a hotspot and your head is going to explode! looking funny walking around the store with it on your head for 15 minutes don't help finding that.

HJC FS-2 has venting but no drop-down visor. IS-2 has drop-down visor but no venting. Both have the removable ear/neck curtain.
Scorpion EXO-100 has both drop-down visor and venting, and also has the removable curtain. It normally costs more, but I just picked up a new EXO-100 off ebay at close-out pricing of $30 + add'l visors for $5 each. I'd already tried sizes at a local Kawa-zuki shop...bad me!?!
I wanted the retractable visor, but also NEED the venting on hot, sunny days.

When I use it, Scorpion EXO-100. Sits low, has a removable liner you can wash, padding that wraps around the base/back of your head. The neatest feature is the visor, it flips down like a fighter pilot helmet and flips back up in to the helmet for the wind in your face when you want it. You can keep your sunglasses behind the lens (interchangeable in several colors). Picked up 2 a few years back around $100 online. Hope it helps in your decision....
