Helmet shopping - suggestions?

Unsure how deep you want to dive into the technical side of helmet design and certification....but, here's the link anyway:

I remember when this article first came out. It sure blew away the theory that the more expensive helmets are better. If anything it actually shows that for most riders a middle-of-the-road helmet is a better choice than the top-of-the-line brands.

What it comes down to is to ensure that your helmet meets or exceeds the standards, but most importantly is to get one that is a tight, but comfortable fit.

$299 on Tardme. A good price if the antifog is as good as you say....

It is, I'm just not sure how long it lasts. As fogging is a major problem on cold rainy days I think it's an excellent selling point. It also has removeable washable linings.

Good point about the D-rings vs snap fasteners- MNZ don't allow snap fasteners to be used for racing, D-rings only

My cheap HJC CS-10 is a kinda loose fit and only cost me $160, but it's surivived 5 hard knocks (one leading to a mild concussion) and I'm still smarter than your average bear

A for-free visor is worth the extra money. Not that I've ever used one before but my visor fogs up like a bitch
